JD Hobson stands at the crossroads where Seattle's 90s-era Grunge and Americana meet. Born and raised in Seattle, JD spent his teenage years attending local shows with friends, while at home he was immersed in his father's love of Folk and Blues music on the radio. Steeped in the music of his father's youth in Virginia, yet firmly planted at the epicenter of a cultural phenomenon in Seattle, JD brings a unique perspective to everything he does. Another spark of light from a region that has spawned so many stars!

JD Hobson's music is an original combination of Virginia Appalachian folk and blues, amped up with the raw energy of Seattle's grunge scene. With a family history in the Piedmont Appalachian area of Virginia dating back to colonial times, JD's music reflects this rich heritage. His sound merges the smooth finger-picking of Mississippi John Hurt, the high lonesome tones of Hank Williams Sr., and a touch of young Bob Dylan, all infused with the intensity of Seattle's grunge movement. It's Americana with a fresh edge!
