The Jefferson Rose Band

Since 2011, JRB has rocked packed houses in Seattle’s biggest venues and gotten crowds dancing at Northwest festivals big and small. Their newest album, Feel Like Dancing, was released in June 2014 to rave reviews and earned 28 weeks on the CMJ World Music Top 40. Feel Like Dancing is also a window into their high-energy, superbly executed live show. Listeners who enjoyed the first album, Seismic, will love the addition of singer Alex Kitchen, whose wild and potent voice adds another layer to the complex and dance-worthy rhythms. Singing in English and Spanish and a sincere approach to each note, Kitchen transports the listener to places that are at once familiar and exotic. Her powerful, heartfelt vocal style draws influences from R&B, neo-soul and Latin music. JRB has played Bumbershoot, Folklife, Everett Music in the Parks, Anacortes Arts Festival, Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, The Tractor, Nectar, The Royal Room and many more.
