Bio

Songwriting collaborators Erin Hobson (guitar/Vocals) and Steven W. Ross (bassist/multi-instrumentalist) are unlikely music partners with a definitive sound and style. Ross's bass technique has percussive elements and he's like a bassist and drummer all in one. Hobson’s guitar playing is tinged with elements of Jazz, Folk, and Rock. Known as the "duet with deep pocket grooves," or "The Sub-Compact," their songs are musical narratives, layering catchy hooks and urban rhythms, underneath the vocal friction of Hobson’s smooth croon against Ross’s thorny grit. The Duet is perfect for smaller venues, but has also been seen opening for Country legends Willie Nelson and Loretta Lynn to sold out audiences.
