Brad Jones is the son of Herman D. Jones and the late Diane Draper Jones of London. He is a 1977 graduate of Laurel County High School, and attended Sue Bennett College and the University of Kentucky prior to working at Tel-Rad Electronics, a wholesale electronics supply, in Lexington, Kentucky for two years. Brad graduated summa cum laude from Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky in 1983, with a degree in Music/Business. He is a former vice president of the London-Laurel County Ruritan Club (formerly London Jaycees), and was on the Board of Directors of the Traveling Showcase Players. He is currently a member of McKee Lodge #144 F&AM & Golden Rule Chapter No. 111 Order of the Eastern Star and serves on the Board of Directors for The Bennett Center of London.

Brad has one son, Keegan Jones, born in 1987, and he attends First United Methodist Church of London.

Brad acquired London's RadioShack dealership from Bob and Naomi Conaway for whom he had worked during his senior year at Union College. Mr. and Mrs. Conaway had established business operations in the London, Kentucky area as Bob's Sales Agency in 1972. On June 1, 1983, the transfer of ownership was complete, and Brad began operations of his RadioShack dealership, without a change in location, as Laurel Electronics Center.

In 1985, Brad chose to pursue the retail field related to his college degree by expanding his electronics business to include music retail. This called for a minor name change to Laurel Electronics & Music, as well as for a move to a larger location on the north side of London in 1986. Further expansion to a trial second location located in the Somerset Mall in 1988, led to the need for another name change which would be more suited for operations in both Laurel and Pulaski Counties. After asking himself what a person should call a music store located in a veritable "musical desert", the name Oasis Music Company seemed to Brad to be the obvious answer. Under Brad's management, Oasis Music Company evolved into a full-line music store featuring everything from pianos, to keyboards, to percussion, to stringed instruments, to wind instruments, to sheet music, to PA equipment and more.

In 1994, in response to changes in the music retail climate of the area, Brad elected to sell the music retail division of his business to Kentucky Sound Company of London, and return his focus to electronics retail and RadioShack. Due to community recognition, the name Oasis Music which had existed since 1988, was not changed. It stands as a constant reminder of the important role music has played in Brad's life and in his career.

In 1995, RadioShack chose to open a corporate-owned store in the London area despite the company's contractual commitment to Oasis Music, which had existed since 1983. Thus began a decline in the relationship between RadioShack and Oasis Music, until the spring of 2000, when Oasis Music began operations as an independent electronics retailer known now as Radio World.

At the end of 2002, Oasis Music/Radio World left its home of more than 16 years, and moved to West Fifth Street behind the Laurel County Courthouse Annex Building. This move to a higher traffic location brought better exposure to the complete line of Radio World products, as well as more flexible showroom hours for customers.

In 2004, Brad sold the Radio World division of his business to Jeremy Yates and continued in business as Oasis Music Company, moving operations to North Long Street,

Parents, support music and the arts in your child's life and school. It is possibly the greatest contribution you will ever make to your child's development. After all, it is at the core of what has made London's locally-owned Oasis Music Company the leader in electronics, communications, and digital satellite technology that it is today.
