Please build a barrier around this man before something snatches him away from this world. No helicopter rides. No sports cars. No bath tubs. No random nut jobs with a gun. and f--k cancer. RIP Sharon Jones and all the others who were called home too early.

This is proof that good music is still being made, it’s just not being promoted. Durand Jones and the indications/Aaron Jones are the hellava!

[@eddieorozco6290]

This isn’t good music. John Mayer sings better than this guy. His lyrics have no depth.

Good music these days is like finding a needle in a haystack..can't believe I found it and so glad I did!

[@galan01225]

Once in awhile music grabs you and makes you listen to it. I’m 47 years old and it has been sometime since I have felt this. This man has a talent that comes very rarely. His star is on the rise and we are listening.

[@gloriaalee540]

Listen to Smokey Robinson if you want to hear a for real authentic falsetto.

[@jerryhernandez5122]

Don't hurt me have mercy song. Is the best song I've heard.. period.

[@ehawkman]

Just saw them in D.C. @ at the well known club - 9:30 Club. Awesome!! All of the people were beautiful. The music was excellent. A super pleasant evening that I spent with my son's. Me, 60 y.o., him 25 y.o. - age didn't matter, sex didn't matter, color didn't matter - all handsome, beautiful people. Thank you to ALL!!

[@DIGITAL7Media]

God bless the string section. All their hard work and practice as children....now making people around the world happy with their talents. They sound so clean and smooth. And god bless the sound engineers at KEXP.

Good to know that there's still a taste of old school with the new school. Aaron is a talented individual taking on guitar, drums, vocals and who knows what else. Perfect cruising music. Who'd like to take a trip?
