Guy Kelton Jones I & The Brixton Chamber Orchestra @GuyKeltonJones
Guy Kelton Jones I. is an American poet from “antiquity.” He has been performing since he was four and writing since he was five. Much like his mother Beloved Jones and grandfather Mr. Hardy C. Jones, great grandmother Mrs. Carrie Lee Coleman Jones, Guy has made his home on the stage. Born in Peekskill, New York & raised all over the world, he has collected and absorbed styles and flavors. We look forward to all he, by the grace of the Most High, has in store for the art community and world at large. Incorporating music and dance in his performance of spoken word; GKJ brings poetry alive with every step and ushers in a truly unique and unforgettable experience. His debut EP and album "Black Sunday" and "Midnight Sermon" will be released this year.
