Leave Me With a Smile

C. Charles Jones is a twenty-first century singer/songwriter, producer, author and poet who resides in the midwestern region of Springfield, Missouri. 

His 2024 debut album “Blowin’ Smoke” is a raw and immersive dive into a blend of both R&B and jazz-folk that consists of an acoustic guitar, piano, saxophone and bongos, all of which he produced himself. Each track on his debut brings forth a new kind of soft spoken, melancholic sound that revolves around the topics of loneliness, individualism and staying “asleep” inside a culture that is “woke” with songs like “Some People,” “Colors,” “We’re Not on the Same Page,” and his radio-hit “I Feel Like I’ve Been Dead All the While Now.”

Jones was born in Des Moines, Iowa, on August 14, 1996.
