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, Texas as high- school band mates in the late '90s and moved to Austin to pursue music professionally in the Music Capitol. In 2005, Jabarvy was voted one of the 'Top Ten Jam Bands' by music lovers in the annual Austin Chronicle Music Poll. This year, 'M-Squad' (Meg and Margaret, the Jabarvy horn section) was voted into the Music Poll's 'Top Ten Horn Sections'.
Jabarvy features two diverse lead guitarists, an all-female horn section, a lead-singing drummer, and one of the most distinctive bass players anywhere. All members write music, sing, improvise solos, play various other instruments, and assume the role of front man/woman on any given night. With a penchant for making each show sui generis, Jabarvy explores a wide array of original pieces composed of light-hearted but thoughtful lyrics sung over elaborate chord progressions.
