About this Event
Jesika Von Rabbit: Formerly the frontwoman and chief songwriter of the successful and iconic Joshua Tree act Gram Rabbit, Jesika von Rabbit has released three solo albums, Bunnywood Babylon, Dessert Rock, and Journey Mitchell, along with a bevy of singles and visually arresting videos all combining electronica, psychedelic rock, and bit of Hi-Desert Americana.
Mind-bending, sexy, weird, and endearing, von Rabbit’s art is full of utter madness, brilliance, and complexity. Intelligent, whimsical, vulnerable, and sarcastic, her lyrical content is one of the observer, the questioner, and the contrarian.
Live, she is a sight to behold; dancing, transcendent, and confrontational, garbed in a skintight technicolor bodysuit. Her stage show features the Grundles, her Wonka-esque dancers who interpret the set with an array of amusing costumes and Vaudevillian skits, and long-time bassist Lee Joseph (who doubles on guitar on her recordings).
Jesika recently won “Best Female Vocalist” and “Best Song” at the Joshua Tree Voice Music Award Show. This is in addition to “Best Female Performer” multiple years in-a-row at the Coachella Valley Weekly Awards.
Von Rabbit has toured with the Eagles of Death Metal, and has performed at the Desert Daze festival, Camper van Beethoven’s Campout festival, Joshua Tree Music Festival, Stoned and Dusted festival, Tiki Oasis, The Casbah stage at the Adams Ave Street Fair in San Diego, as well as San Francisco, Portland, and Palm Springs Pride. “The Queen of the Hi-Desert,” Jesika is the torchbearer of the ever-vibrant Hi-Desert music scene.
Jesika von Rabbit’s original compositions have been licensed to Fox’s The Masked Singer for a commercial spot, CSI, NBC’s Life, FX’s Better Things, The Real World, Sons of Anarchy, Crash, Hit & Miss, Crazy Stupid Love and War Inc., Grace and Frankie, a commercial spot for Fruit of the Loom which aired during the 2012 Summer Olympics, and Morgan Freeman’s film 57 Seconds to name a few.
