The Jones Dickens

Two-piece electro-funk hybrid hip-hop band from Minneapolis. The members of this duo have been playing together for over a decade. Barry Rohrer (aka Brainchild) and Frederick N. Gotfredson Herrera (aka Fredy Herrera) met as members of the hip-hop band Leroy Smokes. The group won a Los Angeles Music Award for Best Rap Album and appeared on Bodog’s Million Dollar Battle of The Bands reality show on FUSE-TV. When The Jones Dickens started out as a basement jam session, the chemistry was undeniable. Soon they had a full set of live songs and a fully produced album to go along with it. So their musical journey continues...

With a blend of electro-funk and hip-hop, The Jones Dickens draws comparisons to artists such as The Black Keys, Daft Punk, The Gym Class Heroes and The Roots. On their debut album, nine, the duo creates a big sound with drums, digital bass and keyboards with innovative sound effects peppered throughout. Their live shows are high-energy, combining feel-good lyrics and danceable rhythms with outstanding musicianship.
