Her father, Country Music Hall of Fame member Grandpa Jones, and her old time fiddle-playing mother introduced her to traditional country music at an early age, which led to her discovery and love of the dulcimer. In the early 1990s, Jones, multi-instrumentalist Mark Howard and master autoharpist Ron Wall — who will accompany Jones during this program — formed the Cumberland Records label and released numerous acoustic instrumental records. During this performance, Jones, Howard and Wall to perform a selection of classic Christmas songs.
