Joshua Tree’s Jesika von Rabbit to sing the National Anthem for the Coachella Valley Firebirds, Feb 17

Joshua Tree’s “Queen of the Hi-Desert” musician, songwriter, and former leader of Hi-Desert trailblazers Gram Rabbit, Jesika von Rabbit has been chosen to sing the National Anthem for the Coachella Valley Firebirds vs the Colorado Eagles, at the Acrisure Arena, 75702 Varner Rd, Palm Desert, CA 92211, on Saturday, February 17, at 6 PM.

“I am thrilled to be singing our National Anthem and honored to represent the Greater Coachella Valley and the CV Firebirds,” says von Rabbit, whose rich history in the Coachella Valley includes a cover story in Palm Springs Life, and being awarded “Best Female Performer” several years in a row at the Coachella Valley Weekly Awards.


von Rabbit’s song “Going Down” was recently featured in the Morgan Freeman film 57 Seconds. She is releasing a single and video of her live-show favorite, “Dog at a Human Party”, in April and is currently putting the final touches on a series of singles leading to her third solo album to be released in the Fall.

Jesika von Rabbit: June L.A., July Southern States, SFTRI, New Album


JESIKA von RABBIT, the former leader of Joshua Tree’s hi-desert trailblazers, GRAM RABBIT, will be performing two shows in Los Angeles, and touring through the Southern states with her longtime musical cohorts, the cinematic psychedelic spaghetti-western SPINDRIFT.

In the past few months, JESIKA von RABBIT has released a stream of digital singles, as well as a 45 RPM record featuring “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me” b/w “Din Ho” on the revived Sympathy for the Record Industry label. In the fall of 2018, von RABBIT will release Dessert Rock, her second solo album and the follow-up to her 2015 LP Journey Mitchell, both on Dionysus Records. While Journey Mitchell is laden with new wave-influenced synths, keyboard melodic and infectious dance beats, Dessert Rock is an avalanche of appetizing amalgams that incorporate hints of calypso, sci-fi, psychedelic, rock, electro, and funk.

von RABBIT’s current band line-up includes former GRAM RABBIT guitarist and independent producer Ethan Allen, Dionysus Records’ Lee Joseph on bass, and drummer, Dan Kashuck. von RABBIT has performed at Desert Daze on the bill with IGGY POP and SLEEP and has shared stages with a diverse roster of acts including WANDA JACKSON, CAT POWER, DEATH VALLEY GIRLSTHE CRYSTAL METHOD and has toured with EAGLES OF DEATH METAL. Dubbed “The Queen of the Hi-Desert”, von RABBIT has a menu item named after her at the world renown Pappy & Harriet’s in Pioneertown, CA – the delicious “Nachos von Rabbit” and in spring of 2018, once again won Best Front Woman of the Coachella Valley at the Coachella Valley Weekly Music Awards.

She is drop dead gorgeous and has an absolutely incredible voice. But von RABBIT is more than a pretty chick singer. She is an innovative creator and expressionist as well as one hell of an entertainer… Her show is brilliantly nonsensical; a sonic and visual spectacle that is unlike any other and you cannot take your eyes away. She is an artist that you just have to keep coming back to see because you evolve every time you do. – Coachella Valley Weekly
