Durand Jones & The Indications in Concert
New-school sensations with an exhilarating old-school sound, Durand Jones & The Indications play soul and R&B that may be classic in form but have plenty of impact in the present day. Gritty and powerful yet capable of great subtlety too, they sound like they could've recorded for Stax or Hi during the golden age of those Southern soul labels.?
It's been just a few short years since the members met as students at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music. Amazingly, frontman Durand Jones had no plans to become a singer. He'd moved from Hillaryville, Louisiana — a tiny town of 750 on the Mississippi River — to the Midwest for postgraduate studies as a saxophonist.?
He took a different direction when a side project that had formed to play parties became a more serious venture for him and his fellow Indications: drummer Aaron Frazer, guitarist Blake Rhein, bassist Kyle Houpt, and organist Steve Okonski.
Over the course of a series of Sunday-evening basement recording sessions, the Indications' sound took shape. Fueled by their love for such legends as James Brown and Sam Cooke as well as more obscure acts, the songs that emerged caught the ear of Terry Cole of Colemine Records, who swiftly got to work pressing 45s of the band's first single, "Smile."?
Recorded in that same dingy basement, Durand Jones & The Indications' self-titled debut album garnered much acclaim from tastemakers when it arrived in 2016. The soul and funk connoisseurs at Dusty Groove in Chicago called it "easily one of the best deep soul albums we've heard in years."?
Endorsements by the Chicago Reader, NPR, and The Spill helped stoke the buzz for the group's debut, which was reissued in 2018 in a deluxe edition that included newly recorded renditions of two underground soul classics: Penny & The Quarters' "You and Me" and E.J. & The Echoes' "Put a Smile on Your Face."
Recorded at two shows on the band's fall 2017 tour, ‘Durand Jones & The Indications Live Vol. 1' is an explosive demonstration of their abilities onstage, as captured for a blue-vinyl edition released on Record Store Day 2018. After touring Europe in early 2019, they return to the U.S. to work on their second album and to perform shows at clubs and festivals, including the High Water Festival in North Charleston, S.C.

Go to the regent if you like standing shoulder to shoulder for hours. Almost impossible to use the concessions or the bathroom because you are in the middle of a mass of people.
Played everything we hoped for and more. Thanks for a wonderful evening.
Durand Jones and the indications never fail to entertain. The smooth R and B sounds from Durand and Aaron Frazier are sublime. The venues they perform in always allow for an intimate experience. I saw them 2 years ago at the house of blues in Anaheim. So happy Aaron Frazier was healthy and able to share his beautiful falsetto.
Durand Jones and the Indications put on such an amazing show, played songs from every album and had the crowd going. The venue was small but ok. Can’t wait to see these guys again
Please, I would give anything to hear you all play together again. ?? I fell in love with my man through this music, this is the foundation in which our love was built. Please, please play again in California..just one more time. ??
Worst show to end the year. You can't book a show to max capacity and expect everyone to see. I couldn't even get into the concert area as it was completely full. Then you want to charge an extra $150 to get a better view in vip. Stood at the door way with no view. Ended up in another room watching it on a screen. Band sounded great but it's pretty sad when you can't even get in to see the show. Won't be back to HOB in the future
The venue was amazing, the staff as well. The sound system is perfection. Great time with an amazing artist!
Seriously wish I can go back in time and watch this concert at this venue! 10 stars
Music was amazing but there were many fights that made it really hard to enjoy and killed my overall experience. Security was no where to be seen.
