Jane Hobson, a Chicago-based singer-songwriter from Madison, Wisconsin, blends post-punk, indie rock, and folk to create her unique sound. Jane grew up jamming with her father, Dan Hobson, drummer for the pioneering grunge rock band, Killdozer. Other musical influences include The Cranberries, Snail Mail, and Big Thief, all of which contribute to her indie “sad girl”—yet hard-rocking—style.

Jane honed her musical craft at Oberlin College, where she led the rock band, The Hobgoblins. Jane now performs live with some of Madison’s best musicians: Eddie Campbell on drums, Bronson Taalbi and James Strelow on guitar, and Ivan Skryagin on bass.

The band has played at many venues in the Midwest, including Lincoln Hall (Chicago), AtwoodFest (Madison), Orton Park Festival (Madison), Schubas (Chicago), Sh*tty Barn (Spring Green), the Hideout (Chicago), Cactus Club (Milwaukee), Cole’s Bar (Chicago), High Noon Saloon (Madison), The Bur Oak (Madison), and Gman Tavern (Chicago).
