A self-taught fingerstyle and rhythm guitarist and bass player, and a finalist in four national songwriting competitions, Adrienne has been called "a setter of songs, as a jeweler who sets a rare stone." There Is No Rose is her fourth solo album, a collection of English, Scots and American Christmas Carols through the centuries.
As well as being a professional actress and soloist, Adrienne was a founding member of the Connecticut-based trio, Madwoman in the Attic (with Margo Hennebach and Diane Chodkowski), who won Best Acoustic Band in the Hartford Advocate's Readers' Poll two years running. She and Hennebach, with the accompaniment of Mark Saunders, continue the musical romp with Mad Agnes, presenting lushly arranged acoustic originals richly seasoned with three-part harmony.

Adrienne's first album, All My Days & Nights, was called "folk poetry" by Dirty Linen Magazine; reviewers praised Talking River's lyrical prowess, exceptional production and inspiring messages. "Voice in the Mirror," writes Rick Foster of the Attleboro Sun Chronicle, "with its sophisticated writing, crystal vocals and near-symphonic arrangements, is a landmark of artistic and technical achievement by an extraordinarily gifted independent artist." There Is No Rose is a unique compilation of Christmas Carols, with one original tune; some are choral, many a capella, a few accompanied by guitar - with all tracks overdubbed by Jones. All four albums are available on CD Baby.
And her voice? Says Joe del Priore of the Hudson Current: "Sound silk, pure and simple."
