About Police Dog Hogan

Since 2010, Police Dog Hogan have fused country-roots-Americana with a wholly British sensibility. Banjo player Tim Dowling’s Guardian column highlights their comic touring tales, but their music remains emotionally powerful, featuring driving country-rock with guitar, fiddle, banjo, accordion, and trumpet.

They have played dozens of festivals including Glastonbury, Latitude, Cropredy, Cornbury, Beautiful Days, Kendall Calling and the Sidmouth Folk Festival. The band have played sold out shows at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Union Chapel, Scala, and Cadogan Hall, and have performed in Nashville, Ireland and France.

In 2018, their song Devon Brigade was nominated for best original song at the AMA-UK Awards. The album it came from, Wild By The Side of the Road, spent several weeks in the Official UK Americana charts.

Police Dog Hogan are: James Studholme (guitar vocals), Eddie Bishop (fiddle, mandolin), Tim Dowling (banjo, steel guitar), Emily Norris (trumpet), Shahen Galichian (accordion, piano), Don Bowen (bass), Alistair Hamer (drums)

They manage to fuse bluegrass, folk, country and more in a way that few others can match.
