Police Dog Hogan British Americana band to perform at The Apex next month

British Americana band, Police Dog Hogan (pictured above) are due to appear at The Apex, in Bury St Edmunds, early next month.

They have grown a large live following with their country-folk sound using a combination of guitar, fiddle, banjo, steel guitar, trumpet and accordion, with bass and drums.

They’ve played dozens of festivals, many of them repeatedly, including Glastonbury, Cropredy, Kendal Calling and the Sidmouth Folk Festival.

In 2014, Police Dog Hogan were one of only three UK bands invited to Nashville to perform at the prestigious Americana Music Association Awards, where DJ Bob Harris – in town for the awards – snapped them up for a recording that has become one of the most-watched YouTube videos on his “Under the Apple Tree Sessions” channel.

In 2018, their song “Devon Brigade” was nominated for best original song at The Americana Music Association UK Awards.

 2017’s “Wild By The Side of the Road” album, produced by Oysterband’s Al Scott, spent several weeks in the official UK Americana charts, while 2022’s album “Overground” spent four weeks on the UK Folk albums chart.

Police Dog Hogan, who consist of James Studholme (guitar vocals), Eddie Bishop (fiddle, mandolin), Tim Dowling (banjo, steel guitar), Emily Norris (trumpet), Shahen Galichian (accordion, piano), Don Bowen (bass) and Alistair Hamer (drums), will be at The Apex on Thursday, March 6, at 7.30pm.
