MT Jones

Liverpool-born singer MT Jones steps into O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London, on 15 October 2026 with a set rooted in classic soul. His writing leans on uncluttered guitars, unhurried rhythms and brass textures that leave space for a warm, grainy voice. The songs look at relationships, moments of doubt and everyday feelings with a direct, plainspoken touch, favouring small details over big gestures. After a first run of singles and an EP that framed his aesthetic, he’s shaped a live show that mirrors his recordings: organic, tight and centred on dynamics.

On stage, MT Jones leads a close-knit band that lets grooves breathe and melodies settle. Horn lines respond to the vocal, rhythm guitar keeps the pulse steady, and the arrangements move between slow-burners and pocket shuffles with hints of R&B and jazz phrasing. The influence of 60s and 70s soul is clear, but the production and feel land firmly in the present. It’s a concert built on nuance, where the arc of each song does the work and the mood shifts by degrees rather than fireworks.
