Jabarvy, meaning 'chosen family', is a new breed of "accessible popular music with a progressive twist." From epic soundscapes to melded medleys, they reward any listener seeking sophisticated and surprising music.
All members of Jabarvy met in Lubbock, TX, as high-school band mates in the late '90s and moved to Austin to create one of the most originative bands in the Music Capitol. In 2005, Jabarvy was voted one of the Top Ten Jam Bands by Austin music lovers in the annual Chronicle Music Poll. The following year, 'M-Squad' (Meg and Margaret) was voted into the Music Poll's Top Ten Horn Sections. Jabarvy has played a Live Air performance on Ray Wylie Hubbards "Roots and Branches" radio show, 92.1 KNBT FM, Gruene/New Braunfels, and performed twice on the FOX 7 morning show as a featured musical act. Sharing stages with such acts as Carolyn Wonderland, Larry, Moving Matter, John Dee Graham, and On the One featuring Karl Denson's Tiny Universe drummer, John Staten, Jabarvy has played many venues and festivals across Texas, stretching from Lubbock to Houston and branching out to Oklahoma, Colorado, and Kansas.
Jabarvy is powered by two diverse lead guitarists, an all-female horn section, a lead singing drummer, and a most unique bassist. All members write songs, sing, improvise solos, play various other instruments, and assume the role of front man (woman) on any given night. Never repeating the same show twice, Jabarvy unites a wide array of original compositions and boundless jams into flightful schemes-and-dreams, spicing up every setlist with choice cover songs.
Jabarvy - a sound as unique as the name.
Press:
"Jabarvy is GREAT FUN! If you love music –all kinds, and that pre-mortal feeling of being energized by sound, you’ve gotta see them." ...Beside just great music, there’s also a cohesiveness in the group like that of a well tuned marching band...Often the lyrics are as much fun as the music...It’s more of the effect that impulsive, high-energy music can have over a person.
---Mark Kneubuhl, for San Angelo LIVE! (sanangelolive.com)
"Jabarvy***** may be the biggest surprise find for me this year...I’m a sucker for talent and this 6 piece literally had it all. Soulful sax, virtuoso guitar, funky bass and great songs."
---John Rucker, SxSW review written for club.kingsnake.com
“This Austin-based six piece band sounds much larger than it is…these guys are unconventionally amazing.”
---Sean Claes, editor of INsite Magazine
“I recommend that you waste no time in catching their live shows…”
---Duggan Flanakin, Flanfire
"Influenced from everything from bluegrass to hip-hop, Jabarvy guarantees a show like you have never seen before."
---Cover and featured article for StudyBreaks magazine, Lubbock/Texas Tech-- Music Issue, 2005
"Each musician brings his or her own dynamic to Jabarvy"
---William Kerns, Lubbock Avalanche Journal
