You are the music while the music lasts.

ELGIN JONES is the rekindling of a musical flame that started decades ago in the basements, garages and gymnasiums of our hometown, Elgin, Illinois. Years have passed and life has taken us in different directions, but the reunion of these 5 lifelong friends and musicians in 2018 not only re-established a brotherhood, but produced some fine grooves that were long overdue.

ELGIN JONES is about lifelong friendships, laughs, love and great music.

Enjoy it all, because it's never too late...

WHEELS OF TIME (2020)

THIS ALBUM IS DEDICATED TO JOHN GRIGO, an incredible friend, bandmate and musical talent who passed in May 2019. Your humor, wit and wisdom are irreplaceable and surely missed by all who knew you.  Rest well, brother…
