Jess Ribeiro and The Bone Collectors
Jess Ribeiro and The Bone Collectors slowly evolved out of many warm tropical nights jamming on balconies and courtyards in Darwin, Australia. Equipped with a swag of songs Jessie Jane Ribeiro (formerly la'trapera) would sing enchantingly into the night with her delicate strumming style, shepherded by the Bone Collectors Rob Law and Damian Meoli. Having played around Darwin, Melbourne and Brisbane for a long time as a solo artist, Jess was gradually joined on stage by the Bone collectors, who soon found their space in her songs. The name is inspired by an ancient myth about a spirit being who wanders the desert collecting bones and singing them back to life. In 2009 ,Jess Ribeiro and The Bone Collectors are working towards the release of their first album while travelling around parts of the country to promote the release of their current EP Pilgrimage. They have just added a new bass player and good friend Evan Lorden. check em out!!!
