Some groups thrive on being tied to one musical genre or another, but 4th AVENUE JONES (vocalist/producer Ahmad Jones, guitarist/producer Timmy Shakes, vocalist Tena Jones, bassist ?Phat? Al Parker, drummer Dee Calloway and the ?illest violinist? Gailybird) is a band that destroys the limitations of one style with their blend of rock, soul and Hip Hop. Songs to check out on Stereo: The Evolution of Hiprocksoul are the title-track lead single, the emotionally packed ?Who?s Watching Me?? and ?It?s Over Now,? produced by recent Grammy Award nominees the Avila Brothers (Usher).
