Christine Hand Jones (composer, lyricist, & bookwriter) is a singer-songwriter, performer, and professor. Christine teaches writing at Southern Methodist University, and she holds a PhD in literary studies from the University of Texas at Dallas, which she earned largely by writing about the music and lyrics of Bob Dylan. Interested in the intersections of music and literature, her recent academic work has focused on Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton, The Band, and Paul Simon. When she's not in the classroom, Christine brings her dual literary and musical background into her work as the co-writer of The Scarlet Letter Musical, and her musical settings of Shakespeare's lyrics have been featured in several productions of Much Ado About Nothing, As You Like It, and Love's Labour's Lost. As a singer-songwriter, Christine's soulful folk-rock has been a mainstay of the Dallas-Fort Worth live music scene for over 20 years. Her most recent album, Standing on the Shoulders, is a tribute to family in all its messy beauty, and it wraps its intimate story-telling in a combination of bluegrass instrumentation, lush strings and ethereal vocals.
