Gary Ogan's Think Tank is a new 4-piece band out of Portland, Oregon that

multi-instrumentalist, Gary Ogan. Joining Ogan is Ted Swenson / bass &

vocals, Tony Carr / lead guitar & vocals, and Ed Pierce / drums.

Gary Ogan is a 2007 Oregon Music Hall of Fame inductee, and a veteran of

50 years in the music business His first major label album release on Elektra

Records was 1972, followed by his debut solo release in 1977 on Leon

Russell’s Paradise Records. Gary toured the U.S. extensively with acts like

Harry Chapin, The Hollies, and Phoebe snow. The Mid-90’s saw Ogan

moving to Nashville, where he signed as a songwriter with Sony/ATV Tree.

Since then he’s had a four year stint traveling the world drumming for

Americana kingpin, Darrell Scott, another two years producing the great

Danny O’Keefe’s “Looking Glass & the Dreamers”, and most recently,

engaging his newest passion for the old ways. Sparked by his own

Aniyunwiya (Cherokee) DNA, Gary’s first forays have led him to write and

produce music for activist icons, Winona LaDuke (Ojibwe), and the late John

Trudell (Sante, Caw/Creek). Ogan is also currently acts as musical director

for and board member of the Jim Pepper Native Arts Council. As Gary puts

it, “I continue to learn, so it only follows that I continue to write, record, and

perform new music. I am most grateful and life is good!”
