It has been a while since Canadian country recording artist Sean Hogan stomped around the Drumheller area.
Hogan is playing at the East Coulee Hotel on Saturday March 1. His connection to the valley goes back to 1997 when he recorded a video for Wildrose, one of his first singles.
He has since gone on to a successful career in music that included CCMA awards and solid radio and CMT play. It all came close to being cut short in 2011. What seemed like chronic sore throat and tonsillitis, turned out to be stage four cancer.
It turned out they were able to deal with the cancer without harming his voice box.
“I am singing in keys I have moved down a semi-tone a decade ago, I am singing back in those keys no problem.”
He has soldiered on and one of his more recent projects was a single called Hell or High Water, which had gone on to raise funds for first nations flood relief following last spring’s flooding.
