Desmond Jones w/ Mighty Big Rig

Desmond Jones is an award-winning 5-piece rock band from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Their original music is centered around melodic guitar riffs, funky bass lines, groovy drum beats, and a big ole pile of saxophone. Desmond Jones puts on exciting, high-energy shows with a high level of musicianship and skillful improvisation, both wide open and acoustic. Each show, set list, and song is different from night to night. The group takes influence from Frank Zappa, Grateful Dead, The Beatles, Mingus, Phish, The Band, and Led Zeppelin, to name a few. Since 2012, the group has played 900+ shows across the country and has shared the stage with bands like Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Papadosio, Ripe, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, EOTO, Here Come the Mummies, Aqueous, Mungion, Dopapod, Nth Power, Kick the Cat, Joe Hertler, Eggy, and many more.
