Aspy Jones is a prolific songwriter from regional Queensland. He writes tunes about his unique perspective on life, the importance of good mental health and the difficulties he’s faced as he’s learnt to live with autism and anxiety. His songs reflect a quirky sense of humour and a keen eye for unusual detail but they also promote authentic messages of hope and positivity. Aspy’s original music is an eclectic genre mix of indie-folk/roots/pop sounds that he usually performs with his sister, Jaimie, and his brother, Saul around SE Queensland while advocating for more inclusion of disability within the music industry. Aspy Jones has been writing, busking and gigging with his original songs since he was 16. He has won several competitions including Battle of the Rising Stars at the Noosa Surf Club, The Band Showdown with the Gympie Music Muster, Talent Search at the Rockhampton River Festival, AICM Battle of the Bands and he also won a 4-track EP recording with Pacific International Music at Hervey Bay Unplugged. Aspy Jones and his lively, family band have supported The Fabulous Caprettos (Daryl Braithwaite, Russell Morris, Rai Thistlethwaite (Thirsty Merc) and Jack Jones) at the Sunshine Coast’s Nightquarter. They have also entertained crowds at Woodford Folk Festival, Gympie Music Muster, Mitchell Creek Rock and Blues Fest, Undercover Artist Festival, Queensland Music Festival and they won a Local Limelight Award at the Caloundra Music Festival in 2022.
