Born and raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Brendan Hogan is a blues man. While in high school, he was influenced heavily by Robert Johnson's 1930s Columbia recordings, and from that experience he's come to believe that blues is at the core of all meaningful popular music. Brendan hosts a popular Blues show on local radio station WGBH, and has played many established local venues. He'll be here playing some new music with his band tonight.
"Brendan Hogan is a Zen warrior for the blues — a talented country
style picker, singer, songwriter and performer...."
— Ted Drozdowski
"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 Art Center
