WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT BRENDAN:
"As with the finest examples of Lucinda Williams, Brendan Hogan manages to let the blues influence good songs instead of always being the focus." - Billy Beard, drummer Session Americana and booking contact at TOAD and Lizard Lounge - Cambridge, MA
"Brendan Hogan's beautifully unadorned music [captures] the voice of an old soul in a young man's body."- The Nashua Telegraph
"If you care anything for the current state of blues, then Brendan Hogan is a name you should know. And with his hard work and focus, it’s a name you won’t be able to keep from knowing."- John Weeks, BostonBlues.com
"Brendan is not only an excellent and committed bluesologist, but [he's also] a fine player with a respect and real commitment to this American traditional art form." - Michael Moran, Executive Director of Amazing Things Arts Center - Framingham, MA
"Brendan Hogan is a Zen warrior for the blues — a talented country style picker, singer, songwriter and performer...."– Ted Drozdowski, frontman of the band, Scissormen, and writer for The Boston Phoenix.
MDR is offering 8 hours of free studio time to an up and coming New England artist via Sonicbids. I wanted to give you a heads up and send you over to our posting. If you're interested, you can submit your EPK for review.
Brendan Hogan glowed the night solo to begin the Fri show at Plough & Stars where "embers float down one by one". Near the end "Brenden Hogan" and "Kaitlin Dibble's Delusions of Grandeur"were feeling "wayward ways" singing of the "City of Refuge". Guitar strings bending the night into place. Love to you Brendan Hogan standing alone and with Delusions of Grandeur.
Thanks for the add, and for all you do to keep the music alive!

Hi Brendan! Thanks for adding me. I'm just discovering the Boston folk scene via MySpace. Your music is amazing, so gentle and honest. Hope to hear you live sometime.
I hate missing out on good shows. I am trapped in Indiana, and it's just wrong. But no no, you New Englanders go on frolic about that's great you folks get Brendan Hogan and good drinks. I got Indiana and ... corn woohoo. Pass the Thunderbird I got 48hrs. Galavant! Frolic the livelong day! All of you. See you soon.
