Local Indie Musician On SNL!


If you caught SNL this last Saturday you might have seen a familiar face. A few weeks back we previewed Jessica Dobson's band: 'Deep Sea Diver's' sold out CD release show at The Columbia City Theater. This Saturday Dobson was at SNL playing guitar and singing back up vocals in the current iteration of indie rock veterans 'The Shins.' Dobson has been recruited to tour as part of lead man James Mercer's band for the upcoming promotion of the record 'Port of Morrow,' which is due out on March 20th.

Dobson tweeted live from the SNL studio:
 "1 hour till snl shoots! Sketches are fantastic tonight. Got touched on the shoulder by kristen wiig, but only bc I was in her way :)"

If you get a chance to check out 'The Shins' at SXSW be sure to say hey to Jessica for us.

Check out the band's SNL performance of "Simple Song," the lead single off the new record:
