River Jones Music is an independent record label founded in Los Angeles, CA in 2007 by River Jones. The label has been home to many developing artists in the western states of America. The regional start with the collective has been compared to previous label upstarts such as Sub Pop, Saddle Creek, and Merge Records.

The first full-length release was set to be an album by Katy Rose (a collection of song demos done with Beck's musical director Greg Kurstin) and Justin Meldal-Johnsen of Beck, Air (French band), and Nine Inch Nails. In late 2007, River Jones and Katy Rose parted ways. River Jones set out to find artists to produce.

The first Courtney Marie Andrews releases were followed by Michelle Blades' (Niece of Rubén Blades) first full-length album Oh, Nostalgia! and Owl and Penny's first LP Fever Dreams in 2009. In 2010, Steff and the Articles signed a development deal with River Jones Music. Steff and The Articles submitted their self-made self-titled album. Also in 2010, Courtney Marie Andrews' third album titled For One I Knew was produced by Jones and Andrews. Ethan McCracken recorded and mixed part of the album in Seattle, WA. It was mastered by Roger Seibel (of Elliott Smith, Bikini Kill, and Death Cab for Cutie fame), through SAE mastering in Arizona. Andrews was asked to sing on the Jimmy Eat World album Invented and joined the band for a world tour. Courtney Andrews The Buffalo & The Bird was listed as one of the 100 songs that define Arizona.
