Open Book Coffeehouse presents Brendan Logan

The Open Book Coffeehouse continues its seventh consecutive season of showcasing live, acoustic music on Saturday, October 15, with Brendan Hogan.

Hogan is a singer/songwriter who creates a unique blend of blues and roots music. Following 10 years in radio as host and producer at WERS and WGBH FM, Hogan has released his first full-length studio album, Long Night Coming.

He started his career in music at Emerson College in 1999, working for the school’s acclaimed student-run station, WERS 88.9. Upon leaving WERS in 2002, he was hired by Boston’s NPR-affiliate, WGBH 89.7, to take over a popular long-running music program there.

Released in late 2009, Hogan’s Long Night Coming features original roots, modern folk, and blues-based songs, as well as two familiar standards in the folk and country genres. His work in songwriting and performing has seen him share stages with Kris Delmhorst, Slaid Cleaves, Geoff Muldaur, Ray Bonneville, Eilen Jewell, Les Sampou, Paul Rishell & Annie Raines, Spider John Koerner, Brooks Williams, and others, and he has recently headlined at Club Passim, performed at the WUMB Music Fest (aka Boston Folk Festival), and showcased for the Boston Area Coffeehouse Association and the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance conference. The Boston Phoenix newspaper has called Hogan a “distinctive new musical voice.”

Enjoy the relaxing, warm atmosphere of friendly people, good music, hot coffee and homebaked goodies. Admission to the coffeehouse is $7 per person, with a special reduced rate of $4 for students.
