SMOKIN' HOGS

INTRODUCING THE SMOKIN' HOGS

The Smokin’ Hogs have been on the UK music scene since 2004 and have built up a solid reputation with many years of experience in the music industry, playing in various bands around the UK and Europe.

The Smokin' Hogs would best be described as rockin’ Rhythm and Blues and their sound has been compared to Peter Green meets ZZ Top !!

They are a four-piece band consisting of :

Paul "Dr Vanity" Sutton - Lead Vocals, Harp and Guitar
Mark "The Reverend" Kennedy – Lead Guitar
Steve "Cosmic" Soer – Bass guitar and Vocals
& Keef "Slowbone" Shepherd - Drums

Keef "Slowbone" Shepherd joined the line up in 2008 and this added a definite "punch" to the band's sound.

The latest personnel change was in 2009 when Peter Bond departed the band due to ill health and was replaced by Mark "The Reverend" Kennedy on Lead Guitar.

Also the introduction of Paul "Dr Vanity" Sutton as Frontman, Harp and Guitar player provided the final polish to the Smokin' Hogs sound.

The band now moves on to bigger and better things in 2009 and beyond !!

The set mainly consists of songs written by Steve and Paul with a selection of blues covers thrown in for good measure.

Smokin' Hogs have one CD Album entitled "LEAVIN' HERE" already under their belts and are working on a new album which will be recorded in September 2009.

The excellent sound and tightness of this band is second to none, with great playing ability all round and a well equipped outfit which I am sure you will enjoy.

So if you like "Kick Ass" blues/rock and a few beers, try to catch the Smokin' Hogs at one of their gigs and you won't be disappointed !!
