About Me

Ron Hogan is a reclusive songwriter who has never given a public performance and is not inclined to self promotion including posting his own pictures. He is just beginning his carreer as a song writer/recording artist by producing 4 single CDs and one Double CD in 11 mos. The words and music to all the songs on the CDs have been written by him. He also plays acoustic rhythm guitar as well as a Korg Sampler (KARMA). He has a backlog of songs that could fill many more CDs and he is continually writing songs. In the studio, Ron is accompanied by many excellent musicians including: Chris Burbick, Acoustic and Electric Guitar; Bass Guitar; E-Bow; Mandolin; Bowed Psaltery; Pennywhistle; Recorder; Keyboard; and various percussion instruments. http://www.laughingraven.com/Silverhand.htm; Andy Pimentel, Keybords and Sax; Dennis Egli, Bass Guitar; John Trujillo, BassGuitar; Mark Stever, Drums; Jim King, Horns; Rico Salas, Sax, Tom Reilly, Sax. Bob Pagano, is the producer of the the albums and Owner of Mountain View Productions in Grants Pass, Oregon, has been in the music business most of his life and his technical and musical talents are very evident in all of these CDs as he brought out the best in each song and each musician. http://www.mvpstudio.com/ Rob Fowler, is an accomplished guitar player who plays with Ron on some of the demo cuts and is also an expert graphic artist who has designed the artwork and text in the CD packages. http://www.workhorsemedia.com/
