Durand Jones & The Indications are an American rhythm and blues and soul group that has been capturing the hearts of music lovers since their formation. Meeting at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music, the band was formed by vocalist Durand Jones, who initially joined as a saxophonist before stepping into the role of frontman. Alongside Durand are drummer and vocalist Aaron Frazer, guitarist Blake Rhein, bassist Kyle Houpt, and keyboardist Steve Okonski. Their musical journey began with a self-released, self-titled debut in 2016, which was met with critical acclaim and paved the way for their subsequent successes.

Their sound is a nostalgic nod to the soulful past, while infusing a modern sensibility that keeps their music fresh and relevant. The band's sophomore album, "American Love Call," released in 2019, further solidified their position in the contemporary soul scene with standout tracks that showcased their lyrical depth and musical sophistication. Their latest venture, "Private Space," released in 2021, sees them expanding their musical palette by incorporating disco and funk influences, indicating a bold step forward in their evolution. Uniting both the sentimental and the up-tempo, Durand Jones & The Indications’ music resonates with fans across generational divides, offering timeless tracks such as "Witchoo," "Cruisin to the Park," and the politically charged anthem "Morning in America." Their passion for social issues and love is a recurring theme that shines through, solidifying their identity not just as musicians, but as storytellers of the human condition.
