Sheri Jones is an artist manager based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She has managed a roster of Maritime musical artists for nearly three decades.

Career

Jones founded her company Jones & Co. Artist Management in 1993 after working alongside Ron Hynes to prepare the release of his album Cryer's Paradise. While hiring a band for Hynes' release tour, Jones hired a young fiddler who ended up being her second artist, Ashley MacIsaac.^[1]

Jones met Mary Jane Lamond and Gordie Sampson and launched her own record label, turtlemusik in 1997. By this time, Jones was representing a variety of artists including Sampson, Lamond, Kim Stockwood, and Damhnait Doyle.^[1] Stockwood and Doyle then teamed up with singer-songwriter Tara MacLean to form the band Shaye from 2003 until 2009, when MacLean left to focus on raising her young family.

In 2001, Jones began managing Joel Plaskett.^[2] Her long-time involvement with the East Coast Music Association led to her being named a lifetime honorary director in 2002.^[3] In 2008, she signed David Myles after seeing him perform during East Coast Music Week.

In 2010 Jones and Sampson launched the Gordie Sampson Songcamp. Some of the young songwriters they mentored became new clients for Jones. Mo Kenney, Dylan Guthro, and Molly Thomason (now known as T. Thomason)^[4] were all signed to Jones & Co. as a result of the camp.

In 2013, Jones & Co. was named Manager of the Year at Music Nova Scotia's annual awards event.^[5]

The most recent act to sign to Jones & Co. is Port Cities, a trio composed of established singer-songwriters Breagh Mackinnon, Carleton Stone, and Dylan Guthro. The three met at Gordie Sampson Songcamp, and released an album produced by Sampson.

Aside from her main focus being on management with Jones & Co., and running a label, Jones has also expanded into an independent record distribution network alongside Joel Plaskett since 2011.
