Foscoe Jones & the Distractions

“Its all about the song. I try to write lyrics that are meaningful, up front, and to the point. The Distractions play according to what the song needs in order for it to fit the mood. The mood is an auditory representation of a feeling that captures the moment, and the moment is filled with darkness, desperation, truth, laughter, love, faith and hope.” ~ Foscoe Jones

  "Foscoe has an amazing hypnotic voice that infuses itself into your soul and captivates you. His intensity and onstage presence draw you in and hold you there during his whole set." ~ Dallasmusic.com
Foscoe Jones & the Distractions' music is an eclectic mix of acoustic rock, old school country blues, and funky Americana.
