​DADDY RABBIT

Honor the roots of Rock and Roll. Make people dance. That’s Daddy Rabbit.

 

Started in August of 2013 by Robert Jacobs, Daddy Rabbit has been playing 50’s and 60’s rock with a little blues, honky-tonk and rockabilly thrown in for good measure in the Eugene area since then. The band, consisting of Jacobs on guitar and vocals, Marty Garber on bass and Steve Wright on drums plays the songs you will sing along to by Carl Perkins, Elvis, Jimmy Reed or CCR, plus lots of hidden gems from that era.

 

Daddy Rabbit released their first CD, “Shake Like a Tree”, in April 2015 consisting of 16 original tunes in the genre of early rock. All the songs are written by Jacobs and arranged by the band. You will be hard pressed to tell which are originals and which are covers when you are out there on the dance floor or just snapping your fingers to the music.

 

As Vanessa Salvia noted in her article on the band in the Eugene Weekly, “You know how your head always starts bobbing and your toes start tapping whenever you hear that certain song? Maybe it's a\ Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis or Chuck Berry tune. Whatever it is, it makes you want to move. Daddy Rabbit falls into this category.”
