Brattleboro, Vermont's Groovegrass trio, JATOBA, will be bringing their unique and energetic "Groovegrass" sound to audiences at Main Street Arts for a very intimate and special holiday performance. JATOBA has quickly become a Northeast-touring favorite with their eclectic mix of acoustic instrumentation and their explosive live show performances.

Incorporating a unique blend of three extraordinary acoustic musicians; JATOBA redefines their sound through collective songwriting, composition and extreme rhythmic/melodic improvisations. It is not at all uncommon to witness these three musicians spontaneously break into a beat-box driven groove with soaring funky melodic phrasing. Through Double Bass, Acoustic Guitars, Baritone Guitar, Mandolin, Sitar, Banjo and superb 3 part vocal harmony, JATOBA displays a very eclectic arrangement of their musical influences and their instrumental prowess. JATOBA is Jason Scaggs, John Jamison and Jeff Richardson.

In their 2½ years as a band, JATOBA has gone from a key local act to regional touring force with upcoming dates in Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and of course remaining loyal to their home state of Vermont. JATOBA has recently shared the stage with nationally touring acts such as: Gordon Stone, Keller Williams, David Grisman Quintet, Rusted Root, KRS 1, Soulive and RAQ just to name a few. They are quickly reaching out to their growing fan base from the strum of the first chord with a mix of old standards, highly creative original material and the occasional nineties rock anthem played with an aggressive yet tasteful bluegrass style.
