Bio and History
Jamiroqueen is a tribute to Jamiroquai, the world famous British band releasing number one hits since the 1990's (recall the guy with the hat on the moving floor and the infamous dance scene from Napoleon Dynamite). Fronted by a charismatic and shamanistic woman who leads the way with her voice and stage presence, Jamiroqueen churns out hits that keep audiences dancing through the night, spellbound by the catchy melodies and virtuoso performances of the band, which also covers other tunes "in the genre" of disco funk. Bring your dancing shoes!
In 2012, keyboardist Russell Dobda felt a wave of energy while sight reading a Jamiroquai song book that had been sitting on his shelf untouched for years. As a senior member of the Austin Jamband scene seeing a trend of these acts realigning to tribute their inspirations, Russell saw the marketability and genuine entertainment value of tributing a world famous cult classic acid jazz dance band whose multiple number one hits everybody recognizes even if they can't place. After finding Robin Bruce, a Jamiroquai fangirl since the age of 14, a 6-piece Jamiroqueen animated venues and festivals in the Austin area until the duo moved to Boulder in 2017. In 2018, Robin & Russell watched their idols play a sold out show in New York City and decided to reform the band in Colorado. All the pieces came together and Jamiroqueen was reborn in 2019.
