Guest Spotlight - Margaret Jones of M. Jones and the Melee

Radiokeys' leading lady Emily sits down with badass guitarist and singer/songwriter Margaret Jones to share some Pinot Noir and discuss Marge’s musical journey beginning with getting her first guitar at age 5 and writing her first song soon after, studying classical guitar and making a screaming transition back to the electric, her recent completion of her PhD in Music History, and everything in between!

Marge is fresh off her first gig with her band M. Jones and the Melee, they discuss the intimate backyard show in Oakland and the “Whisper Network” as well as how local musicians are cutting out the middleman to book their own shows without a promoter or venue calling the shots. 

They also discuss taking risks in songwriting and embracing the weird, how bad gigs make for good stories, Opera singers performing in dive bars, buying $1 records to discover new bands, and at the close of the conversation they even debut a recording of Marge’s original song called The Party!

Radiokeys will drop their debut record on 10/19!
