Jatoba

Happy Spring! It's nice to finally get some warm weather in the Northeast! So looking back at our show schedule for the past five years, we realized that we haven't really ever had more than a few consecutive weeks without playing a show. That kind of schedule is a blast, but man is it tiring!

In light of this discovery, Jatoba has decided to take a few months away from playing shows. Our intent is to focus on tightening up our existing repertoire, writing a bunch of new material, and hopefully getting some time in the recording studio. We have a lot of ideas and incomplete songs floating around out there, and we are really psyched to finally have the time to bring them to fruition.

We still have a couple of festival gigs booked for late spring, but we plan on getting back to gigging sometime this summer. We will be periodically posting new online content on this site and other social media outlets for ya'll to enjoy, so be sure to keep an eye out. We hope to see everyone this summer!

Not only are we nominated for Best Bluegrass Band 2013, but we will be doing a very special performance with EDM DJ Stegga!

We're anticipating the world not ending, so what better way to celebrate life than to join JATOBA and a VERY SPECIAL GUEST BAND covering The Greatful Dead's Reckoning album for our 2nd annual New Year's Eve throwdown at The Stone Church in downtown Brattleboro, VT!

     Jatoba is pleased to announce a three-night run with The Infamous Stringdusters, Oct. 18-20. This run of shows will Start in Portland, ME, run through Burlington, VT, and finish up in Ithaca, NY!

We are excited to make our first ever trip to the fames Backwoods Pondfest!

A weekend of live music, camping, art and fun. Over 20 bands on 2 stages. Park by your tent, have your own campfire, BYOB (no glass), free camping with ticket.

Jatoba is excited to be a part of Friendly Gathering 2012! This is our first time at this VT festival, and it looks like it will be a great time!

     We will be playing two shows in New York with our fellow Vermonters Twiddle!

     Jatoba spent two days in a cabin in the middle of northern Vermont in February, armed with nothing but instruments, recording gear, food and no cell phones (although we did have PBR).
