"What you hear on that record, it's what you're going to get live," says Seth Lee Jones of Flethead, a collection of nine rocking, road-tested blues covers out on Tulsa's Horton Records. Recorded at Teegarden Studios in under seven and a half hours, straight to tape with no edits or overdubs, the tracks crackle with energy. They're some of the band's personal favorites, finely honed over years of performances at a weekly residency at Tulsa's legendary venue, The Colony.

"We run a democratic ship in my band, and there's never any drama," Jones says of bandmates Bo Hallford (bass) and Matt Teegarden (drums). "lt was a team effort to pick those songs." While Flathead celebrates musicians as diverse as Muddy Waters and Roger Miller, the band puts its own spin on each tune. Jones brings his open tuning to the band's version of Muddy Waters "l Can't Be Satisfied," and his baritone guitar gives a sharp edge to "Moving Me (Way Too Fast),,, written by fabled Tulsa bluesman, the late Steve Pryor. Including Ray Charles' "Mary Ann" enabled Jones to pay tribute to one of his (and Pryor's) musical heroes and an opportunity to utilize the prodigious skills of guest guitarist Mike Satawake.

A third-generation guitar player and a skilled luthier, Jones was born into a musical family in Tulsa, moving to Los Angeles at the age of fifteen where he later studied classical and jazz at LA Valley College and graduated at the top of his class from Hollywood's Musicians lnstitute. Jones returned to his hometown in 2010 when the lure of affordable housing and an inspiring local music scene proved irresistible. While Jones spends the vast majority of his time building and restoring instruments at his company, SU Guitars, he regularly finds time to pursue his parallel passion as a guitarist, performing regularly with his own band, as well as with musician Jared Tyler and the band Saugeye. ln the past, he's played with roots country musician Jacob Tovar and the jazz-influenced Gogo plumbay.

A master luthier and a master slide guitar player, Seth Lee Jones is deeply dedicated to his craft and his instrument. If you don’t find him at his work bench building a custom piece of art, you will find him teaching others to build their own guitar. While his unique style of playing definitely stands out, his voice is equally powerful, evoking the memories of some of the greatest jazz/blues titans. Currently performing in a trio format, this is one red hot act that you don’t want to miss.

Seth is a Tulsa musician who travelled to California to learn his trade as master luthier at a young age. He brought that knowledge back to his hometown, where he has established himself as a world-renowned craftsman, proud of his Oklahoma roots. He’s frequently sought out for promotional endorsements from a number of guitar-related vendors, including Lava Cable, Mule Resonator Guitars, and Keeley Electronics.
