In January 2011, Jones self-released the album, Fallen Flower.[7][8] She quickly followed by another three albums the following year.[4][9] In 2013, Jones became the host of Art & Soul, a radio show on SiriusXM's Coffee House interviewing musicians on their music and songwriting.[6]
In 2017, she opened for Zac Brown Band and in 2018 Jimmy Buffett.[5] Through Buffett, she became signed to his Mailboat Records, and she also collaborated with Buffett on a song.[10]
Jones was listed as one of the 10 need-to-know new country artists by Rolling Stone in 2017,[11] and one of 15 country artists to watch by Billboard in 2018.[12] Jones released Bare Feet in March 2018.
