The Unofficial Mrs Hobbs Fan Club
Sept 2008 - The Venice Abbot Kinney Festival
Mrs Hobbs performed in the artistic Robin's Sculpture Garden at Venice's Abbot Kinney Festival. She performed both solo and accompanied at times by percussionist Quentin Josephy and Jerry the Priest with vocal harmonies and trombone.
As always, Quentin Josephy's rhythms and sounds added new dimensions to the music.
A pleasant surprise was how much Jerry the Priest's trombone accompaniment added, with a sweet base which occasionally punctuated the musical phrases nicely.
Mrs Hobbs played and sang a very special rendition of "Autumn Leaves," with sections in English and in French.
Her fans required that she perform her classic "Squeezebox."
Aug 2008 - Monsters of Accordion
Mrs Hobbs opened the Monsters of the Accordion extravaganza August 15th in Hollywood. She performed solo, and thrilled the audience with several great songs, including a variation of her own classic "Squeezebox."
