Jerboah is as adventurous as it is addictive. With influences from free jazz, 90s pop to alternative rock, these four musical explorers weave political consciousness with a hefty dose of humour into their songwriting.
Jerboah have taken stages by storm such as Melkweg Amsterdam, Muziekgebouw van 't IJ Amsterdam, de Doelen Rotterdam, Oostpoorrt Groningen, the Platzhirsch Festival DE, Cross-Linx Festival NL, and Tivoli Vredenburg Utrecht. They won the 'Talen boven water' prize at the Grachtenfestival 2016, and had a documentary made about them with VPRO Vrije Geluiden.
After a lockdown-hibernation, Jerboah burst back onto stages in 2021 with a plethora of new songs, supported by the Dutch Performing Arts Fund and SENA Funds.
The good mood built an anarchistic force that was transmitted to the audience, cheering and clapping their hands to fetching refrains. Hilarious and joyful songs

Jerboah's performance fits in the list of 'most special performances in the RPL studios ever’s ooit’.

"Possibly this is what the traffic intersection of the future looks like: All possible kinds of vehicles on the road, no traffic lights, no guardrails, no speed limit - and no accidents! ... little aliens driving by on the highways of Avant-garde and Anarchy. Recorders rock! Such energy!"
Günter Moseler - Wedtfälische Nachrichten
The audience was surprised in the beginning, nearly not believing that this instrumentation could be so powerful. Jerboah is an example of practised and musical biodiversity. This is how recorders can sound like

Jerboah is in… Prog Magazine!! ✨ “a wonderfully eclectic mixture of fusion and free jazz combined with issue-led art-pop” is us in a nutshell I guess 😂
Jerboah has a full page feature in this month’s edition of Prog, one of the UK’s leading magazines about rock music! Thanks to Eppyfest who booked us to play this summer and kick-started our British debut 🔥
We’re also being played all month on Progzilla radio! This feels like a good moment to shout: we have recorded our new album, we just need a label that would suit an adventurous band like us! Any ideas, lemme know 😋
