Hailing from the desert land of Arizona – Hogjaw is bringing in the southern rock from the SOUTHwest. Like a Freight-train of sound; Jonboat Jones (vox/guitar), Craig Self (lead guitar), Elvis DD (Bass) & J. "killer" Kowalski (drums) deliver a dose of genuine rocking goodness.
Hogjaw was formed in ’06 through the power of jamming…” when we realized what we had, it just snowballed.” Everyone in the band are standing friends from High School and with one common goal (rockin) it became easy for the music to develop. With many years of playing in major/indie label bands, touring afar, and playing beat-up acoustic guitars in and around the hills, these guys find their talents on a way of their own. It is spoken through the songs~
How the sound’s of Hogjaw was grown by its members; ;
Jonboat Jones grew up all over the "dirty south" from the swampy woods of South Georgia, the gravel pits of west Tennessee, to the desert dwelling of Arizona. Being raised on dry rub BBQ, bream on the cainpole and Skynyrd band on the radio has given him the spirit of legends to fallow. While Craig, continues to hone his skills in chicken pickin when he isn’t ripping out leads for the band. He also spends time angling his fishin-rod when ever possible. As for Kowalski, he's known for being a solid player and has dedicated his time over the years traveling the corners of this country playing many sweaty clubs and being a session drummer for studio’s all over. Along side of him, Elvis D, the elusive bass player, spends a good portion of time along side kwal traveling the same journey’s, keeping a quite profile when not laying down the low-end for the band. Together, all bring a diverse background of musical style to the project, determined to make a mark for themselves in the vast world of music.
What’s current on the plate for Hogjaw?
Well….were playing show’s the “Cheap Whiskey – EP” is mixed and done….and hopefully we will have an official release with that very soon…. Sometime in early spring we plan on going out to the good ‘ol Arizona desert and shooting a video for our song 4LO. However, before that, in January were back in the studio to track all the new stuff we have written; including special guest vocals by - Jersey Joe, on "Walkin". 2008 is going to be a good time for the band, so we hope you’ll share it with us and the band will drink to that! See on the road and off-road
Cheers & humbly yours
