Jimi Jeff and the Gypsy Band holds power, authenticity, diversity and musical expertise and hands-down the best Jimi Hendrix cover band ever, a true tribute to Jimi Hendrix and much more. The band is based in the beautiful Redwood North Coast of California and has a large, ever-growing following here in Humboldt County and across the West. Besides Hendrix, this powerful band does blues, rock and more. Band members include “Jimi” Jeff Robinson, Dale Cash, Angelo Dominick and Justin Brown, all with decades of experience. Jimi began his career on the South’s Chittlin Circuit playing in a variety of funk bands. He then moved on to Chicago and played with blues greats including Magic Slim, B.B. King, Buddy Guy and more. He made the pilgrimage to Seattle and was endorsed by Al Hendrix, Jimi Hendrix’s father as the “authentic Hendrix experience.”
Dale Cash was the long-time bass player for Eureka’s Buddy Brown and the Hound Dogs, Ruben Diaz of Earth, Wind and Fire, Sam Maez, Randy Strom, Jerry Miller of Moby Grape, the Strand Band and Karen Dumont.
Angelo Dominick plays drums like he was born with the sticks in his hands and truely one of the greatest finds in Humboldt county.
Justin Brown has played bass in numerous bands and has a versitility that is rare and unique making every song his own.
Corby Yates is a frequent guest performer at the open jam, at “The Forks” in Willow Creek and an amazing musical experience that you must see and hear for yourself to believe.
