The HogRanch play a range of Bluegrass and Americana with self-penned numbers forming a significant part of what they are about. They have been together for about 10 years and have performed at most of the UK’s Bluegrass festivals in their time. The band visited the USA together where they got to play in the Rockygrass band competition. They currently have CD called ‘Riden Hard and Put Away Wet’ containing mostly original material written by the band.

Hogranch are....

Keith Howard – Guitar, Vocals, songwriting

An evening with Hogranch

Originally hailing from a Country Rock Background with Bristol Band ‘The Hanks’ Keith caught the Bluegrass bug after attending The Didmarton Bluegrass Festival meeting Sean and Bob at various jams, ‘…I guess when you run into someone with an identical record collection you either marry them or start a band with them, I’ve done both….’

Sean Hogan – Banjo, vocals, guitar

Sean ‘Hog’ Hogan has played with a myriad of talents around the southwest playing a hard-driving banjo to rival the best. He lends his extensive repertoire to the Hogranch to call on contributing to the eclectic mix of songs that make the band unique.

Bob ‘chilli’ Pepper – Mandolin, Vocals, songwriting

Bob trills and spills his mandolin throughout the band's song list and writes the occasional tune too, adding the high tenor to the harmonies which are the band's trademark.

Deb Howard – Double bass, vocals

Every ship needs an engine room and Deb keeps the band on course with metronomic precision and haunting bowing as well as the 4th harmony.
