Police Dog Hogan

Joyous. Stomping. Belting along encouraged.

Since forming in 2010, Police Dog Hogan have fused their country-roots-Americana sound to a wholly British sensibility.

They spent early 2025 touring to promote their 6th studio album, Lightning Strike, recorded in a single weekend at Middle Farm Studios in Devon. It follows 2022’s success with Overground, which spent 4 weeks on the UK Folk album chart.

Their exploits often feature in banjo player Tim Dowling’s weekly Guardian column, but their comic misadventures on tour don’t represent the music, an emotionally powerful, driving country-rock sound featuring guitar, fiddle, banjo, accordion, and trumpet.
