Heartfelt thanks to all of you who supported the UK Tour! It was wonderful to see your beautiful faces and to sing to you again. Here are some pictorial highlights! I've added a couple of US shows this fall and winter and I'll be back in Europe and the UK in March and April 2023! All Love, Diana x

"Song To A Refugee follows in the footsteps of (Woody Guthrie's) Dustbowl Ballads.”
- Financial Times ★★★★
“Diana Jones is one of the best songwriters I've heard in the last ten years.”
- Steve Earle
From the NEW YORK TIMES Article, June 7, 2021:
Written from the underside of history, “Song to a Refugee” finds Jones steadfastly siding with the oppressed, much in the spirit of Woody Guthrie’s “Dust Bowl Ballads.”
- Bill Friskics - Warren, New York Times
“Diana’s record is a relentless hammering home of how we ignore a huge body of people who are living through the results of human cruelty and insanity...this is such a big problem that it has to be dealt with in small ways,” Seeger said, referring to the global migration crisis. “But the small ways are not small. This is not a small album.””
- Peggy Seeger, New York Times
