Bio
.. ..The Hog Operation is an ensemble that is steeped in Kentucky's rich music tradition. This group gives high-energy performances created by the cross-pollination of many American roots music styles including Blues, Bluegrass, Celtic, Country and Rock. Hog Operation plays a style of supercharged Bluegrass music using traditional instrumentation - guitar, banjo, bass, fiddle and mandolin - that accompany silky smooth three-part harmony vocals. The players are Steve Cooley, Screamin' John Hawkins, Larry Raley and Chubby Spud (a.k.a. Mike Schroeder). This Louisville-based band has released two CDs New Litter featuring all original music and Nice Ham Bites ,covering a variety of Bluegrass and Country standards. This ensemble draws musical inspiration and repertoire from the lonesome sounds of the early Celtic settlers, as well as the field hollers and blues of the first African Americans that created the true beginnings of the Bluegrass Style. Live shows include a healthy dose of rock, reggae, R & B, and country...It's a sound that you need to hear! .... -

10 of 42MoreHello Hog Operation, just heard a few tracks being played on www.aiiradio.net with dj_MountainMan. Great tracks! Love the music!
It's always a pleasure to listen to your bluegrass pickin. We'd love to see you guys perform up in Indianapolis sometime.
Hello,how are u?
How are you? My new friend, thanks for adding me a
Nice to see you here!
Jammit is an app where you can solo the instruments of your favorite songs. We are a team of engineers, mixers and musicians. We started Jammit because we got together and saw a need for musicians to have software like this.
After a couple years of development and talking labels into allowing the raw tracks to be released, we have taken the separate tracks of famous songs and formatted them for your IPhone and Ipod Touch. We are currently developing other platforms like the desktop app.
Solo the track, learn with the scrolling music and hear exactly how players like Ritchie Blackmore played the part....all from the original master tapes, no re-records.
Frank Gryner and Chris Baseford (Rob Zombie engineers, mixers) have started a blog forum on here where you can have dialogue with them, no stuffy gap between anyone anymore.
Best to you!
The Jammit Team

Thanks for the friendship
Time to start DRAGGIN!!
