In 2006, Jones moved to Nashville, TN and formed the group Steel Magnolia. The band went to London to record and establish a name for themselves, but returned to Nashville empty handed. Jones continued to write and work on the live performance aspect of the band until they got a break and won season two of the singing competition, Can You Duet on CMT. From there, the band went on to sign a record deal with Big Machine records in Nashville and have four chart topping singles and a number 4 hit on the country music charts called “Keep On Loving You” written by Chris Stapleton. The band dissolved due to personal differences in 2012.
