ATTENTION! REMEMBER JONES is comin' thru HOT in 2022 with his "won’t U be my hater? TOUR PART TWO!" a new theatrical, glam-punk-soul show celebrating the release of his upcoming album "HAHA, BITCH!"
Glam-Soul Artist Remember Jones to Tour New Show / Album to 25 Cities this Summer 2022
Remember Jones, a national rising talent from Asbury Park, NJ, brings his new theatrical show and tour to stops in 25 cities this summer. His new "won’t U be my hater? TOUR PART TWO" celebrates the new album, HAHA, BITCH! to be released digitally on July 8th, with vinyl and limited CDs and cassettes available at all tour dates.
Remember Jones is a one-of-a-kind soul/pop singer, storyteller, and bandleader, with song styling and expert storytelling that keep audiences on their toes and emotions in the moment. Evoking the authentic energy of the greatest front men and women, his original music, high energy, show-band staging, and creative, theatrical events have played to packed and sold-out clubs and theaters throughout the United States. He has shared stages with George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Ronnie Spector & The Ronettes, Darlene Love, Buster Poindexter, Nigel Hall, Rebirth Brass Band, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes, and more, further justifying his versatility. He has shared lead vocals with Bruce Springsteen and has been a member of the acclaimed Everyone Orchestra alongside Robert Randolph, Steve Kimock and members of Ween, moe., Turkuaz, The Revivalists, and more. In the vein of putting a spin on the work of other artists, Remember Jones released Ain’t That a Kick in the Head?!, a single in celebration of Dean Martin’s 100th birthday, sharing studio time with Dean’s daughter, Deana Martin.
In spring 2022, Remember Jones tackled a heroic, theatrical staging of Meat Loaf's entire Bat Out of Hell album with a series of sold-out shows in NJ. Fronting a fully staged, 16-piece rock orchestra band, the show was backed by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Max Weinberg, who played the album live for the first time ever after recording several of its most notorious tracks in 1977.
The "won’t U be my hater? TOUR PART TWO" celebrates the artist's versatility in a high-energy, over-the-top performance with a 7-piece backing band that harkens back to the sound and stylings of Queen, David Bowie, The Talking Heads, and the revues of artists like Tina Turner, Tom Jones, Cher, and more. HAHA, BITCH!, the new album of 12 original songs from Remember Jones, mixes the artists influences in a pop setting, with funk and disco offerings, alongside tongue-in-cheek pop and folk rock, weaved together by the unique personality and delivery from Remember Jones. It's first two singles, "boys+girls+inbetween", and "fat jeans" (which has caused a stir on social media with a concept and animated video that has since been seemingly copied by Carrie Underwood), has been embraced by LGBTQ+ and queer communities, as well as jam-band and eccentric music supporters, for it's unifiying messages, body positivity, and unique musicianship. It’s follow-up singles, “radio says she loves me” and “love will return”, further showcase the album’s versatility and mixture of grooves and cheeky lyrical content.

ABOUT ALEXUS LEE
Born and raised in Providence Rhode Island to musical parents, Alexus Lee expressed early aspirations for a career in music. Her journey began with Piano, Violin, and Voice, the latter of which quickly became her primary love. After years of study, one will see that Alexus has truly developed a mastery of her instrument, holding an impressive 4 octave range. That, along with her skillful ability for storytelling, and commanding stage presence, have carried her to countless cities, states, and countries around the world. After graduating from Berklee College of Music one year ahead of schedule, Alexus has dedicated herself to writing and performing, honing her abilities, exploring new instruments, and preparing the world for her debut album. “I want listeners to leave my shows feeling good. Feeling inspired, feeling changed in some way for the better.” Said Alexus about what she hopes listeners will take from her performances. “Above all I hope the messages of love and authenticity shine through. It took me a long time to love myself and to let myself be exactly who I am. I hope to inspire as many people as I can to be more themselves; to love, value, and cherish themselves and in turn others.”
