Song earns Coatesville performer a win in interactive online radio contest
Jiggley Jones of Coatesville was one of five winners of online radio interactive competition.
A Coatesville singer-songwriter apparently hit a chord with listeners with a song about a guy who thinks he loves a girl he met once, and after chasing her all over in his mind, he meets another girl and the process repeats itself.
“Ain’t That Alright” moved Jiggley Jones to a win in the 2nd Annual Graffiti Radio Songwriting Contest. He will perform, along with the other four winners, at World Cafe Live at The Queen on May 16. The Queen is located at 500 N. Market St., Wilmington, De. The show starts at 7 p.m., and admission is $5 at the door, a news release said.
“This is a well-deserved win for Jiggley,” said Jones’ manager, Michael Stover of MTS Management Group, adding that t about 30 artists competed. “It’s great that the fans acknowledged his talent, by taking the time every day, to vote for him. We’re very proud to represent this new voice of Americana.”
