Show-stopping rocker Brian Hogan has been plying his trade for a few years throughout the region, and the Hollywood native's engaging presentation of self-penned originals and shrewdly selected classics

is a solid mix that defies retro cliché and gleefully drags the genre into

a high-voltage present tense.

 

Hogan's show is lively, unpredictable and fraught with spontaneous combustion; he frequently leaps off the bandstand and stalks the dance floor, stirring up feverish audience response with devilish ease. He works with some formidable Tinseltown DNA — his father was the Native American actor Pat Hogan ("The 1950s go-to-guy when they needed an Indian chief to wrestle — Charlton Heston killed him twice!" Hogan said) and his uncle is '60s television wunderkinder Johnny Crawford, but his appealing, natural rockability is Hogan's alone.

LA Times: Burbank native Brian Hogan ready to rock

“Hogan's demonstrable involvement and almost confrontational audience participation have an invariably electrifying effect. The 6-foot-4 singer is a natural-born charmer with a rich, lustrous set of baritone pipes, and his signature forays onto the dance floor routinely elicit squeals of delight from his female listeners.”

“Remember how cool Chris Isaak was on the soundtrack to Wild at Heart? It’s that classy, but deeper than Isaak’s Orbisonisms. It’s more like a George Jones who doesn’t always drink beer—but when he does, he prefers Dos Equis.”
