August 9, 2011 // 8 PMJessica Robbins
With an unrivaled rhythm section, made up of Jim Hines and Bob Lizik, Jessica launches a series of rock and folk infused tunes arranged to highlight the lyrical imagination and vocal prowess honed in her songs and live performances. Jessica pulls from a variety of personal influences in her songwriting; from the sincere vocal intentions of Gillian Welch and Bon Iver, to the dynamics of early girl groups, Jessica mixes these sensibilities in her music to deliver both a soft and instrumentally intense sound.
A myriad of influences, for Jessica, resonate throughout her life - wherein she started a small education business after graduating from Harvard Graduate School, and started to write songs and play music around the Midwest. Jessica is the musical director and guitarist for the acclaimed all female improv group, Virgin Daquiri and truly enjoys the wild, electric combination of inspiration, spontaneity and music.
