Mixing the hard aggressive energy of late 70's punk with almost everything from blues to hip-hop to country , progessive super beast and everything in between, More Tiny Giants are a five piece band from Co Wicklow, and their debut album titled King Hesheme (due for release winter 2010) masterfully showcases a truly original sound. While hints of Tom Waits, The Pixies, The White Stripes & Sonic Youth trickle through the songs, More Tiny Giants' debut is a massive gust of fresh air - raw, powerful, and utterly devastating. 

Since forming in 2009, Crow Black Chicken have earned back-pats aplenty for their dirty southern blues sound. This power trio of Christy O Hanlon (Vocals, Guitar), Stephen McGrath (Bass) and Gev Barrett (Drums, Backing vocals) combine elements of folk,hard rock and the blues of bands like Gov't Mule to create their greasy no bullshit blues rock sound. 
 
CBC gained their first big break by winning the All Ireland battle for Glastonbury in 2011 thanks to their EP "Organic" and their raw live show. Upon the release of debut album "Electric Soup" in 2012, the trio from Ireland's deep south have won the adoration of many playing major festivals and countless venues across Ireland. 2013 saw the band return to Glastonbury and travel to Texas to record with country blues legend Ray Wylie Hubbard. 

This was the biggest year yet for CBC with their sophomore album "Rumble Shake " reaching #12 in the Irish charts as well as the subsequent rumble shake tour stopping off in Holland, Germany, Austria and Italy as well as a comprehensive All Ireland tour. The band also had a 4 page feature in Classic Rock Blues magazine with their track "Rumble Shake" on the cover mount CD

Brian Hogan is a son of a preacher man. During his childhood his father Larry Hogan spent his life singing and preaching the message of the Gospel but wouldn't let Brian listen to AC/DC. So instead Brian started listening to Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Bowie, Neil Young and grew his hair long. He was handed a bass at the age of 12, got drafted into his dad's Christian band and spent summers touring Europe. The seed was sown and a minstrel's life it was to be, intertwined with sojourns of animation and illustration (credits include the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).
 
Since then with various bands notable musical highlights of his career include playing Glastonbury, Reading, Cambridge Folk Festival, the Electric Picnic (Ireland), Womad Festivals worldwide and the Montreaux Jazz Festival. In 2008 Brian with Kila, highly regarded as Ireland’s most innovative contemporary folk and new world artists, shared a number-one-hit alongside U2 and The Dubliners (The Ballad Of Ronnie Drew) and in 2010 an Oscar nomination for animated feature ‘The Secret of Kells’. To date Brian has enjoyed playing with many talented artists including George Hamilton IV, Bono, U2, Ronnie Wood, Sinéad O Connor, Gavin Friday, The Dubliners, Paul Brady, Donal Lunny, Liam O Maonlaoí and Glenn Hansard.
 
After a decade of playing bass in the folk/trad world Brian took the bull by the horns and launched his solo project “Preachers Son” inspired by his childhood heroes. Grit-glam, blues tinged, swamp-rock 2010 saw Brian release his first independent album “Love Life and Limb” mixed by legendary Dave Bascombe (Placebo, Korn, Depeche Mode). And with a take-no-prisoners energy Preachers Son have played the length and breadth of Ireland and internationally Italy, UK, Canada and USA. Subsequent releases include single 'Come On' produced by Marc Urselli (Les Paul, Lou Reed) and 'Jericho' produced by Warren Huart (Aerosmith, The Fray, James Blunt). To date Irish and UK radio play includes Planet Rock Radio (playlisted), BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, Team Rock Radio, Real Radio XS, Kerrang, Q, RTÉ 1, RTÉ 2, Nova, 98 FM, Today FM amongst others.
 
Preachers Son has seen Brian collaborate with a wonderful array of musical guests, but 2014 now sees the emergence of a Preachers Son Holy Trinity with Brian joined full time with drummer Geoff French (The Brilliant Things) and guitarist Mark Walsh (The Cold 100).
 
The latest album '10 Stories Tall' was finished in Los Angeles with Warren Huart (Aerosmith, The Fray, James Blunt), recommended by the legendary producer Jack Douglas. Release is scheduled for summer 2014.
 
"When I heard Preachers Son I thought they were something special. I put them in the studio with my friend Warren Huart. I thought it would be a good pairing. It turned out to be a great one. I am happy to have played some small part in the creation of this wonderful music.” JACK DOUGLAS
 
"Recording Preacher’s Son was an amazing experience for me as they are are an honest raw sounding passionate band, spearheaded by vocalist and lyricist Brian Hogan. You can feel the blood, sweat and tears pouring through these tracks, no pretentions here just Rock & Roll the way it’s supposed to be played!" WARREN HUART
