Biography

Jitensha is the garage rock love child of Erin Rose Hubbard and David Martinez. Their sound is a silvery union of honey sweet proto-punkiness and modern indie that is harmonically reminiscent of 1950s rock & roll. With just vocals, electric guitar and drums, stealing a niche somewhere between the White Stripes and Tennis, Jitensha nestles catchy, poignant melodies into upbeat rock grooves. Lyrically, the duo toes the line between realism and optimism, focusing on social justice, environment and psychology, bringing you on a winsome journey of modern human experience. Jitensha has released two ...

Jitensha - Acoustic Band - Montreal, Quebec Event Location: Pacific Dawn Cruise Ship Event Type: Lounge Duo 1st July 2017
Erin and David, are both very fun, positive people to work with, they always willing to go beyond expectations when it comes to performing, both their own sets and with other musicians. They are always striving for perfection, and because of this their original arrangements sound better and better each time they are performed. Erin and David are always pushing themselves to learn new music and partake in performances with musicians who have very different styles to their own, such as on Blues Night and Live at Charlie's. They are both team players, not only working to better their own performances, but even encouraging and helping one of our entertainment staff to sing with everybody at our 'Live at Charlies' performance. Jitensha are not only loved by passengers, but also by fellow crew members. They have even performed for crew members a few times at crew social events. Erin and David have a very broad musical taste, they cover songs from the 50s all the way until present day, and th ...

Meet the Act

David and Erin Rose (Rose for short) met at an open mic in the summer of 2012, at an open mic at Benny’s Bagels on Broadway in Vancouver. They immediately hit it off and started playing music together a few weeks later. They played in the 5 piece indie rock band The Cattails for about a year before deciding to go out on their own and formed Jitensha. One long dark and rainy winter later, armed with their first album Buck Moon, the pair took flight from Vancouver for their first adventure.
That summer they traveled the whole perimeter of the US, living in their Toyota Sienna and playing at ...
