Sharing A Love of Music, Great Beer, and Writing Across the U.S.
Dennis O'Hagan is an Irish/American songwriter and guitarist who has been active in the music scene for 30 years. Playing in various indie/alternative bands over the years, and also as a solo artist, he has shared the stage with artists as diverse as the Violent Femmes, the Church, Blue Oyster Cult, Bruce Hornsby, Afghan Whigs, as well as many others. His most recent band, the Voodoo Loons, hailed from both the US and Ireland, have released two critically acclaimed albums, and are in rotation on SiriusXM as well as other global streaming outlets. The Loons have also headlined epic St. Patricks' Day parties on Cincinnati's Fountain Square and the Historic Southgate House.
In 2018 Dennis embarked on his national Great Brewery Tour, which has him playing solo/acoustic shows at craft breweries throughout the U.S. The highly successful tour has run throughout the East Coast, New England, Great Lakes, Midwest, South, and Gulf Coast regions, including festivals in New Orleans, with O’Hagan using social media to discuss each brewery and his thoughts on their beers following every show. A year after launch the tour, which just wrapped up its Summer leg on the East Coast, has played more than 110 breweries in 22 states and is still going strong, with plans to continue into 2020, revisiting past routes as well as runs of the breweries of California, Colorado, and Oregon.
"Craft brewers are artists, and as such they and their patrons tend to be tuned in and have a deep appreciation not only for the art of making great beer, but also of music... so with me being a musician/songwriter and great appreciator of the brewer's art, there is this perfect mutual admiration that makes this whole experience very satisfying and FUN for everyone involved."
