Hoodang, the alt-country trio from Ann Arbor, will perform a Live in the House Show Saturday Nov. 4, at 7:30 p.m. in the historic Pemberville Opera House, 115 Main St, Pemberville.

David Rossiter, Sophia Hanifi, and Dave Keeny have entertained  mesmerized audiences for nearly two decades with their 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.

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.

Singer, songwriter, guitarist David Rossiter has been the guiding light behind Hoodang since the start. He
founded The Songs In You Songwriting School in 2021 to share his unique approach to the craft with others.

Sophia Hanifi joined Hoodang in 2013 contributing powerful lead and harmony vocals to the mix. Sophia
previously played pivotal roles front and center for the bands Map of the World and FUBAR.

Long respected as a stellar instrumental heavyweight, Dave Keeney joined Hoodang in 2011 and began writing and singing songs that time and again morph into audience favorites.

Tickets $12 and are available at Beeker’s General Store, at the door or by contacting Carol AT 419-287-4848 and www.pembervilleoperahouse.org
