Since coming together in 2010, Police Dog Hogan have fused their country-roots-Americana sound to a wholly British sensibility.
The band have spent early 2025 touring to promote their 6th studio album, Lightning Strike, recorded over a single weekend at Middle Farm Studios in Devon. Lightning Strike followed on the heels of 2022’s success with Overground, which spent 4weeks on the UK Folk album chart.
The band’s exploits often feature in banjo player Tim Dowling’s weekly Guardian column, but their comic misadventures as a touring outfit are no reflection on the music, an emotionally powerful, driving country-rock sound featuring guitar, fiddle, banjo, accordion, and trumpet.
They manage to fuse bluegrass, folk, country and more in a way that few others can match. RnR Magazine Since they made their album debut back in 2010, Police Dog Hogan have been building a reputation as one of the country’s finest live bands and folk-country acts… Overground is their finest hour yet.
