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 4 weeks 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.
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)
