Matthew Perryman Jones: “Lovers In Another Life”

By: Jack Anderson

Pennsylvania native Matthew Perryman Jones has been playing music for so long that his discography is old enough to vote. Jones is a current member of Nashville’s Ten Out Of Tenn singer-songwriter collective and his phenomenal solo work sheds light on a ground between indie, folk, Americana, pop and rock.

In September Jones released his fifth full-length, The Waking Hours, a wanderlust-inspired album that explores how we drift towards love and how difficult it can be to let go. Matthew Perryman Jones plays tomorrow night at the Mohawk and you can pre-game with “Lovers In Another Life”!
