POGEY

 

For the last 5 years, POGEY has been bringing audiences to their feet all over Canada and the United States with their unique blend of traditional and contemporary music. POGEY’s six members combine fiddle, mandolin, acoustic guitar and banjo with electric guitar, bass, drums and four part vocal harmonies to produce their trademark “Nova Scotia Sound”. POGEY’s high octane and fully interactive stage shows have kept the band in high demand at major festivals, conferences and top clubs.

After a showcase at Canada's 2008 East Coast Music Awards, POGEY was recruited to perform the Kansas City, Pittsburgh and Great American Irish Festivals. The band is no slouch in their small home town of Antigonish Nova Scotia either, averaging 8000 at the annual "Canada Day POGEY Party" held at Oland Stadium as the only band on the bill. Other highlights include headlining at International Tall Ships Festival and performing the official 2006 Juno Awards after party; both held in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
