Carvin Jones was born in Lufkin, Texas. He was introduced to the blues at a very young age by listening to BB King records his grandfather constantly played in the house. At age 11, Carvin remembers "my grandmother bought me my first guitar because I would borrow other people´s and when they came back to get them, I´d bum out. She took me downtown and bought me a guitar. I´ll never forget that day." Carvin recalls "my part of town was a rough neighborhood with a capital ´R´. I saw people literally get killed - shot, stabbed, whatever. The guitar kept me out of trouble because I was always inside playing the guitar away from that."

Carvin began touring Europe in 1999. He has performed with the likes of BB King, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, Buddy Miles, Jeff Beck, Gary Moore, John Mayell, Jimmie Vaughn, Ten Years After, Eric Burden and The Animals. In 2007, Carvin and his band opened for the legendary Walter Trout - twice - with rave reviews! He has made many appearances on European Television and has regular airplay on several Blues dedicated radio shows throughout Europe. Carvin regularly headlines many European Blues Festivals - including The Pokey Hole Festival (UK), Skegness Rock & Blues Festival (UK), The Warrenpoint Festival (Ireland), Bejar Blues Festival (Spain), Colne Blues Festival (UK), and several others throughout Italy, Spain, Germany, & Holland.

He has since played in 31 countries! Including England, Italy, Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Austria, Ireland, France, Belgium, Holland to name a few.... also Iraq & Kuwait for the U.S. Troops!

Guitarist Magazine voted Carvin into “The 50 greatest blues guitarists who ever walked the earth!” in January 2001.
