Over the past year, we tweaked our song list adding more Classic & Modern Rock favorites. CHECK IT OUT!! Of course we can't play every one of these songs at every gig so we try to "tailor" our set list for the crowd or event. We even have a few surprises up our sleeve, so 2009 will be a real BLAST!!....
Here's some pics from our 1st big gig of the Summer of 2008 at the "Party On The Tower Plaza" What an awesome place to play. A big special THANKS! to Photographer Extraordinaire, Jack Leyva who took these really awesome shots you see below. You ROCK Jack!!
We also want to thank Johnny & Morgan Beard of Weird Beard Productions for their OUTSTANDING light show work. You guys added a big WOW! factor to our show. We can't wait for the next time.
Our first gig of 2008 was a BLAST!! We played at the 31st annual St. Valentines Day Massacre, motorcycle rally, sponsored by The Alamo City Gypsy M/C. They're a super group of folks and raised money for a very deserving charity (Equestrian Therapy for Disabled Children). Here's a few pictures & there's a video on the right side of this page. Unfortunately we couldn't post the pictures of the gals who gave us a "sneak peak" (if you know what I mean) for some Mardi Gras Beads. Woo Hoo!!
Here's a slideshow from our gig out at Medina Lake, this past Labor Day at The Oasis Bar & Grill. As always we hade a great time. A special thenks to Lyle for taking the great shots.
Here's a few pictures from our Fiesta gig. We played at the Mission San Jose for their annual Fiesta "wrap-up". They had the largest sound system we've ever played on. The main PA speakers were stacked over 10 feet high!! All I can say is ROCK-N-ROLL!! Also a special thanks to Nick Lopez (son of our bass player Danny) for taking such great pics. You ROCK Nick.
Here's pictures from our Spring Break gig (Thanks Sam), and BOY was it a BLAST!! We played for the Alamo City Roller Girls (ACRGs) "2007 Season Kick-Off Party" on Mar 10, 2007 at Pat O'Brien's on the Riverwalk. This was probably the best gig we've played yet. Thank You ACRGs & Best Wishes on your 2007 season.
Here's a bunch of pictures from our gig on Dec 29, 2006 at 321 Max. We had a blast with the Rock tunes, and "Step Aside" layed down some hot Texas blues. A Big thanks to everyone for coming out. This was also Sam's (Craig's son) first extended gig. He did a GREAT job filling in for our regular bass player Danny. Thanks Sam. YOU ROCK!!
Movies
Comedies & Horror are my favorites.
Television
Sports (Spurs, Cowboys) and music Videos (VH1 Classics & Fuse). Lately me & the Mrs. have gotten into "House". That's a great show, we love Hugh Laurie's character.
Books
Science Fiction, The Classics, Non-Fiction.
Hey!! Check out the cool sci-fi book that my good friend Larry Ketchersid wrote. It's titled: "Dusk Before The Dawn" there's a link to his MySpace in "My Friends". It's a really neat book even if Larry is a big Rockets fan.
Heroes
My Grandparents (may they all RIP), my Father (RIP), my "kid" brother Vince proudly serving his country in the Army, my Brother-in-law Dale Crosthwait (RIP), and last but certainly not least, my sweet, lovely wife, Terri.
Here's some pictures of the 3 Ladies that I Love the most, and whom without, I'd be lost. Terri and my daughters Sophia and Rachel "Rachie".

About me:
This site is mainly for one of my favorite past times. Playing Rock-N-Roll with a cover band called "HOGG SHEDD".
What is Hogg Shedd, you ask?? Well... Hogg Shedd is a high energy, no frills, Rock-n-Roll band that will liven up any occasion. Hogg Shedd has 4 experienced musicians who have been through the “club scene” in other bands & are playing together again because they love Rock music. Hogg Shedd has a large & diverse repertoire; you’ll hear new stuff, classic rock, album rock, a little punk rock, and even some oldies to round things out. Although Hogg Shedd will occasionally play at a night club, the guys prefer playing for private parties, benefits, festivals, dances, and other special events. So the next time you want to have a rockin’ good time, invite Hogg Shedd, you won’t be disappointed.

Who I'd like to meet: We had an incredibly awesome time playing on the El Rey Feo float at this year's River Parade. El Rey, (Charlie Garza) and all the folks with the Rey Feo organization, are a super bunch. A picture of the Rey Feo float made front page the next day, in the local paper, but as luck would have it, you could not even tell there was a band on the barge. Luckily we have photographic proof. VIVA FIESTA!!
Here's some photos from our gig at Zep Fest 2008. A great big thanks to all the folks at 104.5 KZEP, Pete & Felicia from Nikita Productions, Trish from Heavy Metull productions, and of course all you great folks who came out and ROCK-N-ROLLED with us. We hope to do it again real soon.
Here's a video of us at the May 16th 2008 "Party On The Tower Plaza" covering a Tom Petty tune. We also have a video of us playing a Jethro Tull tune (it's below the slide show). A super BIG THANKS to our good friend Jack Leyva for taking this cool video, and to Johnny & Morgan Beard, of Weird Beard Productions for the great job of lighting the stage. YOU GUYS ROCK!!
