The most exciting original CowPunk Band in the Nation. Wonder what the Dead Boys would sound like if they came from a TX trailer park? Think of Hee Haw TV reborn for the 2020's you are talking a live Hogg Brothers performance. Jesse and his cousin Neil Hogg wrote a bunch of songs together when they was common up in Bosque County TX but when he was 16 Jesse moved up north with his mom. Neil stayed in Texas. Jesse eventually teamed up with cousin Buzz Hogg and played all over New England as a country cover band “Jesse & The Hogg Brothers” was the band name as they played every country bar they could. The band even played The Woodstock Fair and were good enough to be asked back. Buzz left the band 6 months later. So Jesse had to call Pappy Hogg and his 3rd wife Cathy-Sue along with Robert T Hogg and Kenny-Joe Hogg who got Pablo Hogg to play drums to do the Woodstock Fair as Jesse & The Hogg Family. After 5 months passed Buzz rejoined the band. The Hogg Family played together up until 1999 when Jesse decided to call it quits. Meanwhile Neil Hogg was in TX playing in a lot of different bands and one day in 2005 he picked the phone and called Jesse. On that call they caught up and Neil invited Jesse to come home and record the songs they wrote as kids. Needless to say the answer was yes. In 2008 They recorded those songs and many more resulting in the CD’s “White Trash Meth Lab” and “Working For Yankee Money” and by 2009 they were available everywhere. Shortly after the second release when both CDs were out Neil had recruited more family musicians and the band debuted at a Jazz club in Dallas. The next show was over a year later at the historic bar in Shirley, MA The Bull Run. Jesse reunited with Buzz and up from TX came Kenny Hogg, Neil Hogg, Junior Hogg, Hirohito Hogg and Bobby Hogg and they played a sold out room. Then it looked like with Jesse in New England and Neil in TX this would not continue. Neil and Jesse still continued with Jesse visiting in TX writing new music. Jesse and Buzz along with Merle, Jolene, Buford, Abner, and Stevie Joe Hogg became the band that supported the CDs. Things changed in August of 2013 when Lisa Mari showed up in Boston. She got ahold of Jesse’s saliva somehow on one of his visits to Neil’s place in TX, and swabbed it and tested it and it confirmed Jesse was her father. Good Grief! This broke Neil’s heart. Lisa Mari’s mom AKA Jesse’s 1st wife who left him for Neil. Seems like She was cheating while still with Jesse and Neil assumed. Jesse taking her in drove a stake in the relationship between him and Neil. Neil started performing as Kenny & Neil with cousin Kenny Hogg. Jesse continued playing but added Lisa Mari on Vocals to the mix. The band started touring going as far southwest as Las Vegas and far Northwest as Wisconsin. They released a Christmas single “Don’t Mess With Christmas” and then the EP “Rusty Loved Christmas” that one features the video/single “Party In My Pants” In 2018 the single/video “Hogg Tail Twist” got a good deal of attention but the next single/video “Wife Swapping Party” has created quite a bit of activity over 41,000 views on YouTube. April 30th 2019 the band released the new CD “Live In Harlem” capturing a live performance at Shrine World Music Venue.

While technology changes the business is the same. It is ideal to be prepared by doing the work. Practice, perform live, accept feedback. Expectations to succeed by just writing/recording a song while possible is a expectation that needs to be reconsidered.
Hard to say without more experience however the concept as described is a great and exciting idea I hope to leverage to assist my bands efforts.
Individuals and organizations who exploit musicians promising what they can't deliver.
Probably not enough, but we do support bands/performers we play with promoting them on our social media.
Have both recorded media available and experience performing and a audience to build on.
