Gary Ogan's Think Tank is a 4-piece band that focuses on the songs of award-winning songwriter, producer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist, and speaker, Gary Ogan. Joining Ogan is Jolie Clausen / drums & vocals, Ted Swenson / bass & vocals, and Tony Carr / lead guitar & vocals.

Gary Ogan is a 2007 Oregon Music Hall of Fame inductee, and a veteran of 50 years in the music business His first major label album release on Elektra Records was 1972, followed by his debut solo release in 1977 on Leon Russell’s Paradise Records. Gary toured the U.S. extensively with acts like Harry Chapin, The Hollies, and Phoebe snow. The Mid-90’s saw Ogan moving to Nashville, where he signed as a songwriter with Sony/ATV Tree. Since then he’s had a four year stint drumming for Americana kingpin, Darrell Scott, another two years producing the great Danny O’Keefe’s “Looking Glass & the Dreamers”, and most recently, engaging his newest passion for the old ways. Sparked by his own Aniyunwiya (Cherokee) DNA, Gary’s first forays have led him to write and produce music for activist icons, Winona LaDuke (Ojibwe), and the late John Trudell (Sante, Caw/Creek). Ogan is also currently acts as musical director for and board member of the Jim Pepper Native Arts Council. As Gary puts it, “I continue to learn, so it only follows that I continue to write, record, and perform new music. I am most grateful and life is good!”
