    Artist description
    Paul Jones is a singer songwriter with a style that is very hard to define. Paul lives with his wife and 3 children in Cincinnati, Ohio. His management is ZassCo, Inc. located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Where did Zass come from? A Song writer friend came up to me one day at Sammy B's in Nashville.....Knowing that I was on the road doing Comedy she said I have a great name for you....I said what is it...She said Zass....SOLD!I have decided that I am changing my stage name back to my GOD given name, Paul Jones, I am very proud of my name and the family that I come from. For all of you who know Paul Zass, I'm sure you understand.....If ever doing comedy I will again be Paul Zass, but for respect to the music and those whom I now play for Paul Jones is how I wish to be know....Hey if Prince could do it so can I!

    Artist History
    Paul Jones was born into a very musical family. He first found himself on stage at the age of five, playing in the family band in and around the Cincinnati area. It was here that Paul cut his teeth as a performer.Paul began playing music in the clubs, with his two talented uncles, at fifteen. This turning point taught him, there was more to entertaining than simply climbing on stage. Paul watched, listened, and learned...At the (more developed) age of twenty three, Paul knew he had to try to make a living on the road, in the entertainment business. After investigating the best way to do so, it became clear... He would not be able to support his family while out with a band on the road; due to high costs and low pay.Enter Paul Zass, stand-up comedian! What better way to learn how to work a stage and a crowd, than on your own? Through his first year in stand-up, he did 198 shows. At twenty five he was working 25 weeks per year. By the time he hit thirty, he was on the road 38 weeks, and supporting his family!Paul Zass wasn't satisfied. He couldn't get the music or the lyrics out of his head, and he didn't want to. He had been writing and playing all his life, yet no one had really heard him... Every free moment and dollar Paul had, went into trips to Nashville. Eventually ('cause he's so dang genuine), some high profile relationships developed. And through friends of friends, and a load of hard work and desire, Paul finished his first album. Paul Jones has finally come into his own... Which probably should have been the albums title, had anybody cared to ask me... He is now at the point, where he not only knows the stage, but has an appreciation for what it takes to be a true entertainer. His lyrics come through deep, yet simple. He was taught by his father and grandfather; the key to true song writing comes real and from the heart. We're sure you will agree; Paul writes and sings in a way which draws us in. We feel what he feels as he and his characters find one another and take shape.
