An Evening with Diana Jones - The Better Times Will Come tour
Widely acclaimed US singer-songwriter Diana Jones has announced the re-issue of her critically lauded 2009 album Better Times Will Come – Reimagined & Remastered on April 7, to mark the 15th anniversary of its recording. Diana enlisted studio engineer Steve Addabbo, fresh from his work on Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series, to help her cast a retrospective eye over the tracks. Together they reimagined the mixes and the running order and added a previously unreleased song 'Call Me Daddy', to reflect changes she has envisaged since the original release. 

For this UK/IE tour, she will perform the complete album alongside gems from her catalogue. The re-release of Better Times Will Come - Reimagined & Remastered follows Diana's widely praised 2020 studio album Songs To A Refugee which gave voice to the stories of asylum seekers worldwide; a testament to Diana's commitment to social justice through her gifts as a consummate songwriter and performer.

She has toured the globe, including performances at prestigious events such as Cambridge Folk Festival, Galway Arts Festival, Levon Helm's Ramble in Woodstock, NY, and Bimhuis in Amsterdam, and shared stages with the likes of Richard Thompson, Janis Ian and Mary Gauthier.  She has also appeared on world-renowned TV and radio shows Later With Jools Holland, BBC4 Folk America, BBC4's Songwriters Circle, and BBC Radio 2 Country with Bob Harris. Diana's progressive, yet historically rich songs have been recorded by artists including Joan Baez and Gretchen Peters and have won her awards from Kerrville Folk Festival, New Song Festival and nominations from International Folk Alliance.
