VCA Songwriter Sessions - JD Hobson and Ron Hook
— —
Vashon Center for the Arts - Atrium, 19600 Vashon Hwy SW, Vashon
Free Event! Join us in the Vashon Center for the Arts atrium for a pop-up “Songwriter Session” with JD Hobson and Ron Hook. JD Hobson: At the crossroads where Appalachian soul meets Seattle grit, JD Hobson delivers a sound that’s as timeless as it is fresh. Born and raised in Seattle but steeped in his Virginia roots, JD fuses the fingerpicking finesse of Mississippi John Hurt, the lonesome spirit of Hank Williams Sr., and the poetic edge of early Bob Dylan — all powered by the raw energy of Seattle’s grunge era. His music is Americana with attitude — rootsy, real, and full of fire. Ron Hook: Adding his own spark to the session, Ron Hook brings over 50 years of songwriting and performing experience to the stage. A beloved fixture of Vashon’s Subconscious Population, Ron’s mix of reggae, rock, and rhythm — played on everything from guitar and harmonica to flute and sax — radiates joy and connection. His soulful presence is all about good vibes and moving the crowd. Together, JD and Ron promise an unforgettable afternoon of heartfelt songs, deep grooves, and Northwest musical magic. Don’t miss this one! https://vashoncenterforthearts.org/.../songwriter-sessions
