Jesse Robinson & the J Rob Band
JESSE ROBINSON & THE J ROB BAND If you want to get a wedding reception up on its feet or get a gala crowd down on the dance floor, St. Louis icon Jesse Robinson makes music that moves. Highly popular and highly versatile, lead singer Jesse and his fun, upbeat J Rob Band pull from a playlist that jumps from jazz to blues to R&B to disco without missing a booty-shaking beat.
Jesse’s powerful vocals have been wowing listeners since the 1980s when his R&B quartet Transit Authority hit the Top 40 with “You Make My Life So Right”’. That led to an appearance on “Soul Train,” and gigs as the opening act for The Righteous Brothers, Sheena Easton, Smokey Robinson, The Bacon Brothers, Michael McDonald, D.L. Hughley, and more. Generations of young and old groove to the band’s driving rhythms on pop hits like “September,” “Superstition,” “Shut Up and Dance,” and classics from the Frank Sinatra songbook, including “Just The Way You Look Tonight.” Fans sway and couples slow-dance to Jesse’s soaring rendition of the 1961 Eta James ballad, “At Last.” And now – at last – you can book The J Rob Band through Talent Plus.
