DrumHelper’s Gideon Waxman takes a closer look at who Sarah Jones is and who she has played for.
Below is an excerpt from his article:
Sarah Jones, born in 1986 in London, the capital city of England, is a professional drummer, vocalist, and percussionist. Her musical journey began at a young age when she started playing the piano. Although Jones enjoyed it, it wasn’t quite the sound she was searching for.
Fortunately, a family friend left a drum kit at her house, and with the help of her cousin’s guidance on basic beats, she began playing the drums. Her father’s friends would come over to jam on the weekends, and Jones couldn’t help but join in, learning from their skills.
As is often the case with drummers, Jones’s skills were in high demand in the early days of her career.
This led to Jones eventually joining some local bands in the Hereford area before her talents led to multiple tours in the UK and around Europe.
Sarah Jones and Harry Styles
Throughout her career in the music industry, Sarah Jones has performed with several bands and acts, but she is best known as the touring and studio drummer and backing vocalist for Harry Styles.
Her collaboration with Styles began in 2017 when she joined him as part of his live TV appearances and subsequent world tour. During this time, Jones provided not only drums but also backing vocals.
Jones has continued to work with Styles after the release of his second album, Fine Line, which was released in 2019. She has been part of all the promotional efforts, as well as Styles’ international Love on Tour tour, which spanned from 2020 to 2022.
Although nothing has been confirmed, it would appear that Harry Styles intends to continue using Sarah Jones as his preferred drummer for his tours going forward.
Many of Harry Styles fans have praised Jones for her drumming performances on his tour, and she has become a popular member of the live band. This would lead us to believe that she will be returning to play with him on any upcoming live performances.
Other Artists Sarah Jones Performs With
In addition to working with Harry Styles, Sarah Jones has also played with many other acclaimed acts. This includes Bloc Party, Aynsley Lister, Hot Chip, and Bat For Lashes, with whom she has graced many of the world’s most prestigious festival stages.
Jones is also the founding member of NYPC, which is an electronic act with three studio albums under its belt. Additionally, she has released a number of solo singles under the name Pillow Person. In 2020, she played drums on Puscifer’s album Existential Reckoning.
