Artist Biography For Dexter Jones' Circus Orchestra

Dexter Jones' Circus Orchestra Music Withholds Hints Of Swedish Progressive Rock Combined With Powerful Guitar Melodies And Catchy Drums. It Stretches Itself Between Hard Driven Riffs And Accoustic Ballads. The Band Has Been Compared To Everything From Mammoth Volume And Bob Dylan To Blue Oyster Cult And Thin Lizzy. Comparisons Aside -This Is Probably How The 70`s Would Sound Today. Its A True Gem With Endless Potential! Dexter Jones' Circus Orchestra Formed In 2000 In Umeå Sweden By Tia Marklund David And Daniel Israelsson Håkan Dalsfelt And Kent Jonsson.
