Career

Early career: to 1994

Main article: The Stairs

Jones was born in Liverpool. With Ged Lynn and Paul Maguire, he formed The Stairs, a 1960s-orientated band with English beat, garage rock, blues rock and psychedelic influences.[1] The band's manager, Jason Otty, would often play harmonica, and the band would later feature 2nd guitarists Carl Cook and Daniel Kearney before splitting in 1994.[2] The band achieved cult status with the album Mexican R'n'B (1992).[3]

1995–2001: The Isrites and the Big Kids

Jones also formed The Isrites with Sean Payne later of the Zutons, Paul Maguire's younger brother Dave and Luke Goldberg later of Book,[4] and the Big Kids again with Sean Payne and Russell Pritchard later of The Zutons, and Howie Payne of The Stands. Although both bands split before releasing anything, material has since been issued on several compilations released by The Viper Label.

2002–2011: Edgar Jones & the Joneses and Free Peace

Having ditched the Summertyme pseudonym, Edgar released his first solo album as Edgar "Jones" Jones in 2005 entitled Soothing Music for Stray Cats[5] which encompassing elements of jazz, R&B, soul and doo wop and was recorded on a portastudio donated by Johnny Marr. Edgar then followed the album up with Gettin' a Little Help from The Joneses backed by The Joneses in 2007 and The Masked Marauder in 2009.

Jones formed Free Peace in August 2008 with his nephew Nick Miniski and guitarist Stuart Gimblett.[6] An EP was released via gigs, mail order and independent record shops in Liverpool and were in the process of recordings their debut album, which was set to be released on their own label, Loud Soul in October 2009.[7][8] The band saw Jones return to the 3 piece rock sound of The Stairs and they had reportedly finished about 20 songs for their debut album.[9] Despite regularly gigging, including major support slots with Oasis, the band split up with an album entitled "Stormy Weather" released under the name "The Edgar Jones Free Peace Thing" in September 2011 on the Viper label over s year after the band disbanded.[10]

2012–present: Solo work

Under the name Edgar Summertyme, Jones released his fourth solo album Sense of Harmony in 2012.

In November 2015, Jones reunited with The Stairs. The Stairs later released a collection of rare recordings with The Viper Label.

In April 2016, Jones' Soothing Music For Stray Cats was re-issued on limited edition vinyl via The Viper Label and Mellowtone Records.

In July 2016, Jones put together a backing band for Johnny Echols of Love, for a show at Sefton Park dubbed From Liverpool With Love featuring guest vocalists such as John Power, Dave McCabe and Nick Ellis.[11]

Jones' latest solo record entitled The Song Of Day and Night was released in 2017, on Skeleton Key Records. Jones put together a touring band, dubbed 'The New Joneses' and toured the UK with fellow Skeleton Key acts as well as headlining the Kristian Ealey Stage at Smithdown Road Festival in Sefton Park's Palmhouse.
