Hogan has enjoyed profile with music videos too. His releases have chalked up a remarkable 18 videos on CMT to date. Sean Hogan The Dark Horse In his native Canada, Hogan has more than once been seen as the “dark horse” contender. Recording 7 albums over the past 15 years, Sean has scored with hit singles in Canada, and received notable radio airplay in the US. Sean’s current single Phoenix, the title track from this inspiring record, was written before he was diagnosed but seems to speak for his triumph over cancer that he rose from this year. www.seanhogan.net In 2004, inspired by a song he had written called “It’s Christmas Time,” Sean began the Canadian Country Christmas tour. Now an annual touring event, to date the tour efforts have raised more than $100,000 for various national community charities, such as hospital foundations, food banks, child development groups, cancer research drugs, and many service groups including the United Way and Kinsmen and Kiwanis groups as well. The years of 2006, 2007 and 2008 were filled with shows, recording, albums made, and singles being released to radio. Sean never expected Manchester England’s, Line Dancer Magazine to be taking an interest in his music. They sure did however and as a result internationally recognized choreographers around the world began writing dance steps to at least 3 songs from Hogan’s 2007 Canadian release of the Southern Sessions album. On a personal front in the fall of 2008 Hogan learned he would be Dad for the third time just as he was readying the release in the U.S. of Southern Sessions. Through 2009 and 2010 Hogan released his first Country album and first singles to U.S. Country radio, two singles charted well on independent charts. In 2011, the single Travel Plans has already gone top 40 and indeed top 10 by May 2011 in Country Music News. The video, shot in Southern California, stars Amber Marshall from the CBC series Heartland. Released in March of 2012, Sean’s new album “Phoenix” is a career record. “When you make an album this good it transcends genres…well written, soulful tracks…if there is a better country album than this in 2012, I will be surprised” – John Emms, Music Journalist and Radio Host In the past decade, Sean Hogan has had three albums in the top 12 albums of the year in the internationally distributed magazine Country Music News.
