Naomi Hooley and Rob Stroup bring their new album to the Arts Center

The return of one of our favorite duos, Naomi Hooley & Rob Stroup (aka "Moody Little Sister").

Naomi and Rob have a new CD out, "Wild Places," which we think is some of their best work ever.

When Naomi Hooley moved 3000 miles from a small town in Alaska the chances of meeting Rob Stroup, from a small town in Oregon, were pretty slim. But it happened and from the moment they met it was clear they were destined to combine their abundant musical talents. Rob is the perfect producer, co-writer and band mate for Naomi's melodic, energetic and thoughtful songs. A prolific song writer with a unique style and vocal signature, Naomi's voice has been called "cool and powerful" and her songwriting "masterful".

Naomi Hooley combines the melodic sensibilities of the great folk writers of the 70s like Jim Croce, Gordon Lightfoot, and James Taylor and combines that with vocal abilities of Adele, Neko Case, or Annie Lennox.

Rob's musical background brings a whole other set of sounds and influences. A founding member of Portland's beloved roots rock combo The Baseboard Heaters, Rob draws on 60s rock and classic country influences and is also informed by the "Oklahoma sound" of JJ Cale and the bluesy sides of Dylan. Together they cover a lot of ground and meld together in a very cohesive and polished act.
