Join us on January 24th from 1-3pm in the atrium for a FREE acoustic concert with Rob & Ryan Hotchkiss and Jeff Kanzler! 

 

Rob Hotchkiss won a Grammy Award (Best Rock Song) for five-time nominated Drops of Jupiter, and was the musical force behind hits such as Meet Virginia, Free, I Am, and Get to Me. Rob founded the band, Train, and his songwriting was integral to their multi-platinum success. For creative reasons Rob left Train after their third album to record and produce his solo album, Midnight Ghost, which received tremendous critical acclaim. Rob’s classic sound, with meaningful lyrics, beautiful melodies, and lush harmonies, has been likened to The Beatles, early Bowie, Neil Young, and Ed Sheeran. His son, Ryan, who has been writing and playing music since he was a small child, aspires to make his own records and be involved in every part of the process. They both currently live on the island, and have begun collaborating together on stage and in the studio.

 

Jeff Kanzler is a songwriter who grew up in the Seattle area and began writing music in the Pacific Northwest. After spending several years in the Los Angeles region, he eventually found his way to interior Alaska, where he lived and worked for a number of years. During that period, he released his album, Blacktop Road, in 2007. Kanzler later returned to the Puget Sound region and is now based on Vashon Island. He continues to write music and performs occasionally around the region.
