Just Enough Education to Perform

A pivot toward warm, acoustic-led storytelling. Kelly Jones' signature rasp meets gospel organs and breezy melodies for a quintessential road trip experience.

The ultimate 'windows down on the motorway' album with just enough grit to keep it honest.

A warm, sun-drenched collection of road-ready songs that hide a streak of weary cynicism beneath their melodic surface.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The bitter, rising intensity of the organ swell during the bridge of Mr Writer

That breezy, effortless whistle melody that anchors the chorus of Have a Nice Day

The intimate, dry acoustic strumming that opens Step on My Old Size Nines
