Tameca Jones
Tameca Jones is a soul and R&B singer residing in Austin, Texas. She grew her fan base though a residency at one of the Continental Club Gallery, which reached capacity every time she played.
Tameca spent years breathing new life into the music of others and made a name for herself as the “Queen of Austin Soul."[1] Tameca received major accolates from Billboard Magazine for her performance at the 2015 Austin Music Awards where she paid tribute to late beloved musician Ian McLagan alongside legends like Steven Van Zandt, Charlie Sexton, Alejandro Escovedo, and Patty Griffin. Billboard said she “raised the roof,” [2] while the Austin Chronicle called her performance “showstopping.” [3]
In 2015, Gary Clark Jr. enlisted Tameca to sing on a track for his second studio album.[4] Tameca also partnered with some very respected Texas musicians for her debut EP of originals that came out in October 2015. The EP’s first single, “Hot and Bothered,” a Motown inspired cut Tameca wrote about a crush. The album is a patchwork of all of her influences from her career tricking out covers.
