About Police Dog Hogan
Since 2010, Police Dog Hogan have been delivering a uniquely British take on country, Americana, and folk-rock. Blending guitar, fiddle, banjo, accordion, trumpet, and vocals, their energetic, heartfelt performances have earned them a reputation as one of the UK’s finest live bands.
Fresh from touring their sixth studio album, Lightning Strike, following the success of 2022’s Overground, the band continues to captivate audiences with infectious energy and memorable songwriting.
Known for comic touring misadventures, often chronicled by banjo player Tim Dowling in The Guardian, Police Dog Hogan have headlined sold-out shows at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Union Chapel, and Cadogan Hall, and played major festivals including Glastonbury, Latitude, Cropredy, and Sidmouth Folk Festival.
Expect a night of joyous, genre-defying music – fusing bluegrass, folk, and country – for a live experience that’s unforgettable.
