FROM SONGS TO STAGE TO SCREEN
Its been a winding road for singer/songwriter turned actress Stephanie Urbina Jones as she moves from stage to screen as one of the featured artists on the national TV docu-drama Troubadour, TX. This unique television series follows the lives of various singers and songwriters as they pursue their dreams across the Lonestar State, a legendary hotbed of American music. Storyteller, filmmaker and singer-songwriter, Stacy Dean Campbell takes you behind the scenes to follow the music, the passion and the journey. Jones auditioned in her hometown of San Antonio, TX and soon stepped in front of the camera not only out on the road and in the intimate Studio 41 Cafe in Dallas, TX, but also as the female lead in a Texas Western called "Courage." Troubadour, TX caught it all on film and will tell that story this weekend in more than 40 million households in 140 U.S. markets across the country. Catch Jones’ segment on Sunday, March 11th on the CW Network at 10:00 PM.
Having moved to Nashville from Texas, Jones was signed as the first and only writer for hit songwriter Jim McBride who penned such hits as "Chattahoochie,” “Neon Rainbow” and “Who Says You Can't Have It All" (to name a few) in his co-venture with Sony/ ATV / Tree. Jones was a successful writer, but her heart was called back to the road and to her passion to celebrate her Hispanic roots in Country music. Jones released her self-titled debut album and hit the road on a six week radio tour. Within a year she was the first independent Hispanic female to go #1 on the Texas Music Chart for five weeks in a row and performed on some of the most prestigious stages including a duet with legend Willie Nelson at his Fourth of July Picnic.
Soon Nashville came calling and Jones was signed to Equity Records, Clint Black’s independent label that launched Little Big Town. As the story goes, just as she was about to get her shot the label folded and Jones did what any troubadour does, she hit the road to heal her heart. She found refuge in her music and was gratefully embraced by Texas radio with her song "Como Se Llama, Mama" (What’s Your Name Girl), a duet with Texas legend Augie Meyers. Within in a short period of time, Jones was being sponsored by Houston based Arriba! Salsa, and started filming her first movie along with a video for her single "I’m Not A Pinata" at the world famous Honky Tonk Billy Bob’s Texas in Ft. Worth. "This road has taught me to be grateful for what I have in each moment." Jones said. “I keep on dreaming and believing but I keep my focus in the present; in the joy of writing songs, in the moments of magic and divine connection between me, my band and the fans, and in the simple pleasures of time with family, friends and those I hold near and dear to my heart.”
