Kat Jones is an international songwriter, singer, and performance artist hailing from Nashville, TN. She focuses on themes of an apocalyptic nature, weaving her five-octave vocal range into a cross between flamenco, punk rock, and opera and encourages her audiences to engage with her in a variety of performance spaces from theaters to art galleries, house shows to concert venues.
Aside from touring as a solo artist, with her band (Kat Jones and The Prophets), cellist, Joshua Dent, collaborating with FALL (and aerial and contemporary dance company) on a theatrical work called Dear Apocalypse which explores themes of trauma and what it looks like to overcome and survive them, she is presently working with immersive audio artist, Monica Bolles on creating new and exciting forms of art that explore everything from the wonder of the universe to new work in brain science.
In 2014 she was invited by abrasiveMedia to become a Resident Artist and a Director of Community Development. She spends much of her time connecting artists on the fringes of the Nashville artistic community together for purposes of communication and collaboration.
"Kat Jones, Singer-songwriter who writes damn good songs..."
Esquire Magazine
“It is a western apocalypse movie and Kat Jones, the heroine, is fighting against the antagonists. All weapons have been exhausted. She is not screaming, but rather bellowing out a deep warrior cry... Kat Jones does not play the guitar. She sieves her soul through it with committed guitar strokes.”
Marii Takahashi - SSGMusic
“Kat Jones, a singer-songwriter who writes damn good songs and who's new album, La Rosa, La Calavera, should have no trouble convincing you.”
Esquire Magazine
“Kat Jones is a fantastic songstress, equal parts haunting, heartbreaking, and lush. She can be mellow as Mazzy Star, and she can rock like P.J. Harvey. Thankfully, she’s neither completely, but rather the best of both. She’s far too under the radar for our liking, so please give her a listen...”

“Kat is, in the truest sense of the word, an artist. All of her songs are expertly crafted to be exactly what she wants them to be. From the musical aspect all the way to her incredible songwriting, she really does it all, and does it all very well.”
