Police Dog Hogan, Porchlight Smoker

Police Dog Hogan are a high-energy and eclectic seven-piece, combining fiddle, banjo, mandolin, drums and guitars with knockout four-part harmonies in an exuberant fusing of country, pop, folk, and rocking urban bluegrass.
The Sunday Times has described them as wonderful the Telegraph named them one of its favourite new bands Radio 2 called them a band to watch and veteran DJ Johnnie Walker praises their gigs as just a really good, fun time.
Often described as the real deal, every Porchlight Smoker show is different – and no song is ever performed the same way twice.
They play a varied and at times virtuoso repertoire that mixes self-penned works with covers made very much their own.
A range of instruments, including banjo, guitar, lap-steel, stand-up bass and mandolin – even clarinet – accompany the band's trademark vocal harmonies.
Porchlight Smoker started out as a duo in 2006, and since have expanded into the four-piece band that today play across the UK, both acoustically and amplified.
