Code 22 — Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!

The guys of Oklahoma City’s Code 22 seem like a likable group of fellas. Their latest release, Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!, is likable enough as well — so likable that on first listen, I took its clean, acoustic sound and clear, unstressed vocals as an alternative praise-and-worship band.

It appears that Jones’ final public concert was staged in Oklahoma. A Feb. 19 date with Thackerville’s WinStar World Casino is the most recent show listed on the late singer’s website. It’s not yet confirmed that Jones played another public concert between the show at WinStar and his passing.

“Davy Jones provided our patrons with a quality experience each time he performed. We will miss his passion for entertaining on our stage,” said Brian Zanazanian, senior marketing manager at WinStar World Casino. “Our condolences are sent to his family and loved ones.”
