From the band: “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 scores the music for the highly acclaimed Chicago improv group Virgin Daiquiri- which performs regularly at the IO Theater. The group has played at The Second City- where Jessica played piano, guitar and harmonica. She also has been playing with the improv team MORT at the Playground Theater for three years. Recently, Jessica had the unique opportunity to perform as a musician for the Infamous Commonwealth Theater’s 24 Hour Project.
Her debut EP, Mixed Numbers, 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.”
Her next Chicago shows are at Beat Kitchen on May 14 and The Castaway Collective on May 17.
