multi-instrumentalist, Gary Ogan. Joining Ogan is Ted Swenson / bass &

Gary Ogan is a 2007 Oregon Music Hall of Fame inductee, and a veteran of
50 years in the music business His first major label album release on Elektra
Records was 1972, followed by his debut solo release in 1977 on Leon
Russell’s Paradise Records. Gary toured the U.S. extensively with acts like
Harry Chapin, The Hollies, and Phoebe snow. The Mid-90’s saw Ogan
moving to Nashville, where he signed as a songwriter with Sony/ATV Tree.
Since then he’s had a four year stint traveling the world drumming for
Americana kingpin, Darrell Scott, another two years producing the great
Danny O’Keefe’s “Looking Glass & the Dreamers”, and most recently,
engaging his newest passion for the old ways. Sparked by his own
Aniyunwiya (Cherokee) DNA, Gary’s first forays have led him to write and
produce music for activist icons, Winona LaDuke (Ojibwe), and the late John
Trudell (Sante, Caw/Creek). Ogan is also currently acts as musical director
for and board member of the Jim Pepper Native Arts Council. As Gary puts
it, “I continue to learn, so it only follows that I continue to write, record, and
perform new music. I am most grateful and life is good!”
