Within the panorama of the El Paso music scene, Jayden's Playground is a rare diamond. No other band sounds like them or does music in a similar style. Female fronted, Trip-hop, alternative, ambient, indie, and experimental are the terms used to describe this trio's special sound. From the warm vibrations of the cello, the sweet keys of the piano, a guitar that executes a diverse sonance, jazzy and soulful vocals influenced by many genres from country to rock and the heavy rock drumming that grounds the band. It’s a New York style of modern rock jazz, something you would find if you walked into a hip N.Y. lounge at 3 am. Their uniqueness offers them the luxury to be able to fit perfectly in a small coffeehouse or crank up the sound to play for a stadium crowd. The music lends itself well to both extremes because of its soulful melodic jazz rock appeal and the band's musical ability to make the music come alive in every performance. The trio is comprised of: Jamie Hernandez on vocals and keyboards/cello, Saul Ibarquen on drums, and Erik Vasquez on guitar. Each individual solidly lends their talents to create the musical landscape that is Jayden's Playground. Hernandez' heart wrenching vocals take center stage. Ibarquen's drumming is the driving force that sets the pace and intensifies the passion of the music, a symphonic dance and duel with Hernandez' keyboards and vocals. Guitarist Erik Vasquez, plays the jazz chord rhythms, doubling the sound of Hernandez' keyboard playing. Seeing the band live you will be impressed with the music coming from this trio. Jayden's Playground is a live band who thrives on playing for a crowd.
Each of our songs are written from all 3 of our life experiences, but are told through Jayden (our own fictional character) living those experiences. The listener will be able to identify him/herself as Jayden. Jayden’s “Playground” is where she finds serenity and peace and where she finds that is through music…that is her playground.

"Climbing up that hill Breaking for the blue skies Someday we will find our real life On the other side
On a map let's find a place we've never been before Pack our bags and book a flight We'll walk right out that door Guess that's just a dream Since we grew roots and settled down Wonder if we'll ever leave this tired little town!"
