Keeping Up With Freddy Jones
An album title like North Avenue
Wake Up Call can only come
from a rock band that spends a
lot of its time on the road.
And the Freddy Jones Band
does — up to 250 nights a year.
Healy and Rob Bonaccorsi —
have found favor with the same
audience that's embraced the
rootsy, improvisation-laden mu-
sic of Blues Traveler and other
kindred spirits.

Up until recently, the group
members drove their own van;
when they got home to Chicago
and hit the pothole-filled exit off
1-94, it became tradition for the
driver to yell "North Avenue
wake-up call!" to his slumbering
bandmates.
Nowadays, says drummer Si-
mon Horrocks, things are better.
"We've been in a tour bus,"
says the Dearborn native, "and
it's awesome. We have a DSS
satellite dish, Sega, video golf.
That's how I got into playing; I
played enough video golf that I
wanted to go out there and play,
which is pretty sick.
"But I will never take (the bus)
for granted. I know what it's like
to be out there at 5 in the morn-
ing, just driving on the highway.
It's hard."
Things have gotten a little eas-
ier for the Jones Band since its
loose, Southern-flavored brand
of rock began winning an audi-
ence with North Avenue and its
two predecessors. Together since
about 1990, the quintet — Hor-
rocks, bassist Jim Bonaccorsi and
guitarists Marty Lloyd, Wayne
"I feel like it's a musical com-
munity," says Horrocks, 30, who
studied music at Wayne State
University before moving to
Chicago about a decade ago. "I
really noticed it one day in Boul-
der, Colo., We played a
H.O.R.D.E. show there in Den-
ver, and the next day Sheryl
Crow was at the Fox Theatre in
Boulder. Rob and I decided to
stay and hang out, and there we
all were, just standing on a cor-
ner — Freddy Jones and the Sh-
eryl Crow Band and Blues
Traveler and Jackopierce —just
standing around and talking.
"None of us sounds anything
alike, I don't think, but we all
come from the same place a
far as just loving to make music
and travel and play a lot. It's al-
most a little sub-sect of rock 'n'
roll."
