About Dayna Jones
Dayna Jones is a singer/songwriter born and raised in South Dakota.
“I don’t prefer one genre of music over another. I don’t believe music should be labeled and put into boxes. If you like it and it speaks to you, great, if not, that’s okay too. I grew up on 80s rock and pop – Whitney, Mariah, Def Leppard. However, my favorite singer/artist of all time is country, Martina McBride. I’m a little all over the place with my music tastes. I just like to write whatever comes out and I like the creativity process of how a song comes together.”
Dayna has been performing in and around the states of SD, MN, IA , NE and TN for the past 13 years. Dayna, and the company she has kept over the years, have opened for rock band Theory of a Deadman, country star Lauren Alaina, and grammy nominated Mindi Abair & the Boneshakers.
She recently decided to leave the cover band lifestyle (Jones & Company) to pursue her own music and songwriting.
“Everyone needs to write some new chapters every now and then. Its hard to change but I feel its usually a good thing. There is just something so freeing about being able to write and play your own songs.”
