Deon Jones

Deon Jones is a musician and artist with one of the most important voices of his generation. Jones created his first recording project-a powerful rendition of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" featuring Academy Award-winning composer Jon Batiste-after being shot by police in the face with a rubber bullet during the 2020 summer protests. The recording, which is included in Glenn Kaino's In the Light of a Shadow , has been hailed by Rolling Stone & U2's Bono as "transformative" and by The Boston Globe as "a performance with clarifying power." Jones brings his transformative energy to the Hunter Center this January. Prior to the evening performance, Glenn Kaino will be signing copies of his exhibition catalogue This Book is a Promise in the museum store at 2:30pm.
