No Surf House presents the Saturday Songwriters Series featuring Jennifer Westwood with special guest Kate Kooser at the Old Church on the Green in Hudson, Ohio!

Weaving inspiration from their Detroit roots and family trees steeped in a classic country music heritage, Jennifer Westwood and guitarist Dylan Dunbar combine blues guitar licks and dynamic vocals to serve up a heaping helping of Rock and Roll with Honky Tonk Soul.

Jennifer cut her teeth on gospel before hitting the gritty Detroit area bars that set her career in motion. Among her first “secular” performances, she backed up Detroit Soul singer Carl Carlton (Bad Mama Jama) at a local night club and was tapped for commercial work before moving on to pursue her own ambitions as an artist. Notably, she was invited recently by Grammy Winning Producer and Blue Note Records exec Don Was (Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt, Was, Not Was, Bob Weir and Wolf Bros) to perform in his All-Star Band after catching his ear.

All ages. Doors 6pm; show 7pm. A selection of beers from HiHO Brewing Co. will be available. This historic venue is not ADA compliant. Parking in rear or on E Main and Church Streets. Additional parking in municipal lot on Clinton Street. GA $25 adv/$30 at the door. Reserved tickets $40.

All proceeds benefit No Surf House, a 501(c)(3) organization that expands the variety of locally available live music, supports the arts, and builds community by furnishing modest-income touring musicians subsidized lodging, providing early-career local artists low-cost housing, and organizing unique performance opportunities.
