Jessica Monkey Robbins used to be a magician. She captivated audiences for years. Jessica is now writing songs and doing a little magic on the side...
Jessica Robbins grew up in the great land of Chicago and has been singing and playing music since she said her first word "apple". Trained in piano and chorus, Jessica has been performing in a variety of spaces since early childhood. High School brought on musical theater and more acting roles. It wasn't until college where Jessica picked up the guitar and sang with a Phish cover band. Since then, she has been playing music and improvising in Chicago.
Her debut EP, Mixed Numbers, coming out in April 2008 portrays all the imagination and lyrical wit Jessica has honed in her songs and live performances. It favors to note that these shows are often influenced by improvisation and a sprightly courtship of the audience unique to Jessica herself. She has performed on the podcast Chicago Acoustic Underground and played many esteemed venues around Chicago. With her full band she is playing shows in the local rock circuit- with upcoming gigs at the Beat Kitchen and Lilly's. Her album comes out this spring and she looks to do a tour in the summer of 2008.
