LONG BEACH, Wash. — Al-
though their December
concert was canceled, the
Peninsula Arts Center has
rescheduled one of its favor-
ite singer-songwriter duos
— Naomi Hooley and Rob
Stroup — for a 7 p.m. con-
cert Saturday, March 19.
When Hooley moved
3,000 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.
From the moment they met it
was clear they were destined
to combine their musical tal-
ents. Stroup is the perfect
producer, co-writer and band
mate for Hooley’s melod-
ic, energetic and thoughtful
folk-pop songs.
A prolific songwriter with
a vocal signature, Hooley’s
voice has been called “cool
and powerful” and her song-
writing “masterful.” She
combines the melodic sen-
sibilities of the great folk
writers of the ’70s like Jim
Croce, Gordon Lightfoot
and James Taylor with vocal
abilities of Adele or Annie
Lennox.
Stroup’s musical back-
ground brings a whole other
set of sounds and inÀuences.
A founding member of Port-
land’s roots-rock combo The
Baseboard Heaters, Stroup
draws on ’60s rock and clas-
sic country inÀuences and is
also inÀuenced by the Okla-
homa sound of JJ Cale and the
bluesy sides of Bob Dylan.
Together they cover a lot of
ground and meld together in
a cohesive act. Their newest
album, “Wild Places,” was re-
leased in October.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
The Peninsula Arts Center is
located at 504 Pacific Ave.
N. Admission is $12 at the
door, online through Brown
Paper Tickets, or call 360-
