POGEY PRODUCTS

In July, we will be launching a POGEY PRODUCT line which will be available in the MUSIC & MERCH section. This will include a variety of apparel and accessories. Designs are under way. Updates to follow.

POGEY - The Band

The group has undergone some changes. Fiddler Colin Grant is doing a solo project which involves mandolin player Darren McMullen as well. We wish them well in their new endeavors and applaud them for their musical contributions.

Joining Ray, Jonny, Warren and Zach this summer will be multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Donald MacLennan of Antigonish, Nova Scotia. Donald isn't just a stellar fiddler and mandolin player,  he can sing and puts on a great show! We are thrilled to have him on board. His first show will be in Colorado on July 9th.

Zach Smith (POGEY drummer of 6 years), will pursue other musical avenues in late September; keeping him closer to home in Halifax. We wish him all the best and thank him for his dedication to the group!
