Leaps & Bounds: Jess Ribeiro

Staff Writer

More Jess Ribeiro Jess Ribeiro Profile

When did you start making music and why? That’s a deep question. Really? So I could be a sound healer and assist in the reharmonising of the planet. Now you know. I feel weird...

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Electric ooh ahh. 

What other events/gigs are you looking forward to at Leaps & Bounds? Warm gigs.

What do you think is the best thing about a festival like Leaps & Bounds? That it’s named after a Paul Kelly song.

What are your favourite places to hang out in the City of Yarra and why? I like food places and crumbling buildings where you can smoke inside. I’m not sure I’m a good candidate for this quiz… I’m hungry and can’t think proper right now.

Why should people come and see your band at Leaps & Bounds? Because it’s time for some good affordable music instead of all the ninny nanny that’s been getting around.

When and where for your Leaps & Bounds gig? Old Bar, every Sunday in July.
