Songwriter Showcase: Moody Little Sister
Northwind Arts Center joins Matt Miner Presents in welcoming New Mexico-based Moody Little Sister, the combined creative brain trust and open hearts of Portland producer-singer-instrumentalist Rob Stroup and Alaska native singer-songwriter Naomi Hooley, for an evening of spirited song and stories, Friday, May 11 at 7:00pm. New series sponsor is Strait Floors. Media sponsor for this series is KPTZ-FM radio
Modern-folk and husband-and-wife duo, Moody Little Sister https://www.moodylittlesister.com/ has magnetized their audiences imaginations since their debut album "Wild Places" appeared in 2015.
Though their writing has been described as masterly (Oregon Music News) and earthy and approachable (Bitch), these are not songs charging towards the mainstream on waves of electromagnetic radiation. This is not a band spraying buckshot for new fans. Moody Little Sister has built a loyal community around their music the old-old-old fashioned way: one listening room, house concert, front porch, and campfire at a time.
Having called Alaska, Oregon, and New Mexico home over the past 7 years, their music contains an expansive landscape. It is New Folk for the American West that captures in a bottle the dust storms and tsunamis of the heart. It's been a near-constant life on the road between Anchorage and Albuquerque. This shows in their effortless harmonies and the way every moment of a performance feels both confident and vulnerable.
Some bands make big gestures. Moody Little Sister, in their music and in the kinship they share with their listeners, has been meeting our 21-Century Emergency with an urgent intimacy.
By being able to craft their set for large and small stages, Moody Little Sister has headlined the living rooms and back yards of fans across the land and appeared at large venues in the Pacific Northwest such as The Sisters Folk Festival, The Wildwood Festival, The Britt Festival, The Bite of Seattle, and opening for the Indigo Girls.
Advance tickets are $12 each at Northwind Arts Center or from moodylsnorthwind.brownpapertickets.com or $15 at the door.
