Some may think it’s tough to compete as a vocalist in a town full of songwriters, but Tameca Jones has the rare ability to turn a cover that you’re sick of hearing into a brand new, soul squeezing work of art and people everywhere love her for it. Born and raised in Austin, this powerhouse of a vocalist often teams up with other local artists like the charming rapper, Phranchyze, and singer/soulwriter, Ray Prim. Jones shines brightest, however, when backed by her own band, running up, down, and all around familiar melodies and making them her own. See her this weekend, along with a bunch of other kick ass female fronted bands at Spiderhouse Ballroom, Saturday, January 18th. –Written by Jodi Lang
