HOGJAW - an American Rock n Roll band! Sinceits inception, they have ignored the boundaries the music industry hasstandardized for so many artists. Bringing forth mighty riffs, bellowingwhiskey filtered vocals with a Boogie sound that can tear paint off the wall.Since 2007, when the group started, that’s the path they have chosen. In 2014,fellow guitarist Kreg Self had to leave Hogjaw due to health issues, which lefta big hole in the core. With the band in limbo, Hogjaw had to figure out thenext move. With Kreg’s encouragement to go forward, lead-guitarist - Jimmy Rosefell at the doorstep of the band. Beingold friends in the music scene, Jimmy decided he wanted to help the band remainand contribute to what Hogjaw hadalready achieved.

So with gettingback to the roots, the band revitalized itself with hours upon hours of jammingand making the unit of four become one again. After releasing four studiorecords, this independent band is about to release its fifth (May 2015): RISETO THE MOUNTAINS! The band believes lyrically and musically thealbum has the vibe of a "concept album". Of course, that is to befigured and determined by the individual listener. However, it definitely is ajourney of music with the sounds of; Rock, Southern Rock, Blues and Country.

Hogjaw have released four studio records since2008: “Devil in the Details,” “Ironwood” (2010), “Sons of theWestern Skies” (2012), and “If It Ain’t Broke” (2013). Thiscollection of songs is what defines the band, period. About to embark on afifth release with (engineer/producer) Byron Filson at Villain Recording, it isbelieved this is a new frontier for the group and fans! “RISE TO THE MOUNTAINS” will feature songs like; title track “Riseto the Mountain”, “I will remain”, “Another Day”, “Where Have you Gone” And “Grey Skies” are just a few of the tracksfrom this Southwestern band’s next offering.

The live performances, which are another bigfactor in how bands shape themselves, are something in which Hogjaw definitelyprides themselves. They have found themselves not only touring through NorthAmerica, but even abroad in Europe & Scandinavia. In 2011 Hogjaw joinedforces with booking agency Teenagehead Music, enabling them to perform for fans in places theynever dreamt they’d visit. Now, the 4th European tour is bookedand a 2nd tour of North America is coming together!

ITunes, CDBABY, & Southern Records.DE (forvinyl) are a few places you can find Hogjaw’s music. They have had songs usedin TV shows like “Army Wives” (Lifetime network),”3 Gun Nation” (versusnetwork), and four wheeling video by “Yankee Truck Night.” The band hasreleased four videos that were filmed, edited and produced by JB Jones - another Co-Produced by Jim Rinkenberger atImage Ave Studios.
