PEMBERVILLE — The Pemberville Freedom Area Historical Society will present its next Live! In The House Concert Series on Nov. 4.
Hoodang has mesmerized audiences for nearly two decades with its unique blend of dark, driving off-kilter alt. country music. The band writes songs, often in first person, of people tarnished by bad blood and bad luck who still find ways to make it through to the next town, day, marriage, con, or bottle.
Blending a driving, fingerstyle rhythm guitar sound with a thrumming bass, chiming electric guitar, hammer-down percussion, and soaring vocal harmonies, onstage Hoodang’s comfort zone has been a spontaneous, careening edge that plays off the moment, the mood, and the room.
Founded in 2003, Ann Arbor-based, genre-busting Hoodang has been tapping into that gleaming vein of sonic gold that travels back into the early part of the last century. Drawing inspiration from the tradition of English murder ballads, hardcore country music, and careful-you’ll-cut-yourself acoustic blues, Hoodang plays a rich amalgam of strikingly original American roots music that is alternately pensive and seriously rocking. Hoodang is David Rossiter, Sophia Hanifi, and Dave Keeney.
The show will start at 7:30 p.m. at the Pemberville Opera House, 115 Main St.
Tickets are $12 and are available at Beeker’s General Store, at the door or by contacting Carol at 419-287-4848.
