Big Hogg Solitary Way

Founded in Glasgow, UK in 2006 BIG HOGG is an progressive rock sextet led by main songwriter Justin LUMSDEN; he is joined by Sophie SEXON, Richard MERCHANT, Ross McCRAE, Alasdair C. MITCHELL and Nigh GAUGHAN as well as other guest musicians from Glasgow area. The group plays an innovative take on the music of the late 60s and early 70s, predominantly the combination of psychedelic folk rock, blues, brass instruments and British fusion of the time, like a combination of JETHRO TULL and SOFT MACHINE for example. The resulting albums can be recommended to fans of the Canterbury sound which is given an occasional homage not just in musical similarities but also an open dedication in one of the songs to Robert WYATT.
