I am a musician and work in the radio industry. I work at WMOA/WJAW radio in Marietta, Ohio. I am a deejay, Public Service Director, and I run my own show called "WMOA's Live and Local" on Friday nights, featuring local music, and some underground music from all around the country. I also broadcast some local high school and college sports on WJAW, which is an ESPN radio affiliate. I have a great job.
I have been playing guiar since I was about 13-14 years old. I have been a part of multiple bands, one worth mentioning being American Son Down, which had a little bit of local/regional success, and had a nice small fan base as well. You can check out that band on myspace @ www.myspace.com/americansondown . I played lead guitar in that band, and almost every solo on there is mine, with the exception of a couple solos that were split between myself and the other guitar player.
After that band finally called it quits, I have been a part of a few different bands, but nothing has seemed to stick. I am now working on putting together a prog rock band called "Into the Grey". I have almost enough material written for an entire album, which I hope to go into a proper studio (or something close) and get it recorded by the end of the year. You can check out some of the demos for those songs @ www.myspace.com/shawnjoneshimself . That is my personal music page, and contains some demos for the ITG project, and also some acoustic songs I have wrote that don't really fit.
Other than music and radio, my life consists of watching television and movies, surfing the internet (which is normally music related), and hanging out with my friends.
