Biography

BORN AND RAISED in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Chad Thevenot (Sugar Jones), serves up southern- fried, indie rock – an eclectic mix of funk, rock, and pop.
___ Thevenot’s unique talent caught the attention of the public when he was just 15, after KLSU in Baton Rouge put tracks from his first demo on rotation. Barred from performing at adult venues, Thevenot showed his savvy by producing live shows featuring young bands at local halls headlined by his own group, The Gist. Thevenot launched Sugar Jones in 1993 with guitarist/songwriter Miles Sapp, inspired by the funk/soul legends that he was weaned on – Edgar Winter, Sly and the Family Stone, and Curtis Mayfield.

Press Mentions

You can take the boy out of Louisiana ... but you can't take Louisiana out of the boy. Witness the kind of insinuating Crescent City funk that underscores the best songs on Bring Your Own Insanity. Washington Post

Insanity is the most thought-provoking funk CD of this young year. This is partly because Jones has a real need for musical exploration. It also helps to come with a truckload of personal blue-eyed soul. OffBeat

Thought-provoking songs of love and love lost, race, compassion, introspection and violence contribute a worldly consciousness to this colorful frontispiece of words and music.
