Event information
Adopted as an infant and raised in New York, Diana left home at the age of 15 in search of her roots. Unlike most of her friends, Diana was attracted to the music of Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline, as well as contemporary artists Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton. It wasn't until she was reunited with her birth family and the music of the Eastern Tennessee hills some years later, that she discovered why that music had always moved her. After establishing a solid folk career in the late 90’s in the fertile Austin music scene, Diana returned to the northeast seeking time to heal from the loss of her beloved grandfather, Robert Lee Maranville, who as a young man performed with Chet Atkins among others. It was during this time of healing and isolation, that Diana started writing from a deeper place, and after some serious wood shedding, she emerged with some of the most honest songs of her life. When Diana Jones went in search of her birth family, she also found her voice - as a writer and a singer.
Since her second appearance at TwickFolk in January 2010 Diana has released her acclaimed third CD "High Atmosphere" on Proper Records, toured regularly around the UK, made triumphant appearances at festivals such as Cambridge, appeared on 'Later with Jools Holland' on BBC2, taken part in the BBC's 'Folk America' concerts at the Barbican and recorded a "Songwriters' Circle" programme for BBC4. This summer she'll be playing major festivals including Shrewsbury and also touring as support to Richard Thompson
