About the band
Dion Jones grew up in the 30A area. A college sports scholarship athlete, he found music after hearing a choir rehearsal, joined that choir and went on to put the band together in 2020.
The Neon Tears play what they call "new-style country rock," drawing on Chris Stapleton, Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, The Band, the Allman Brothers and Little Feat.
