Back to the Grind – EP34

Weekend Recap, Saint Patrick’s Prep, and How We Should Release New Music - EP38

Nick calls Moses and Casey from home to break down the highs and lows from the past weekend’s shows as the band gears up for their Saint Patrick’s Day gig. While organizing cables and getting interrupted by a French bulldog, the conversation turns to a focused discussion on future releases. Nick lays out the options for new Folk Hogan music in 2026 or 2027, including CD, vinyl, and digital formats, and why listener input should help guide that decision.

Bandsgiving DND Part III – Piper Down Pub and the Final Battle with Murphy and the Giant - EP37

It all comes to a head at Piper Down Pub. The final battle is here as the party faces Murphy, the Giant, and the consequences of everything they’ve done so far. Dice fly, plans unravel, and heroic moments emerge in the most Folk Hogan way possible. This is the conclusion of our Bandsgiving DND trilogy, replacing Jeopardy with combat, lore, and one last stand that feels way too familiar to anyone who’s ever played a show, loaded a van, or tempted fate on tour.

Bandsgiving DND Part II – Beer Festival, The Zombie Prince, and Inside of Moses’s Mind Maps -EP36

The journey continues at a beer festival that feels cursed from the jump. The crew encounters the Zombie Prince, questionable crowds, and a series of choices that may or may not doom the party. We take a hard left straight into the inner workings of Moses’s mind maps, where strategy, lore, and absolute chaos collide. This episode is heavy on world building, wild character turns, and the kind of side quests that only happen when Folk Hogan plays DND.

Bandsgiving DND Part I – Load the Van and Head to the Show (Space and Faders) - EP35

This year we’re skipping Folk Hogan Jeopardy and doing something much more unhinged. Welcome to Bandsgiving DND. In Part I, the band loads the van, rolls initiative, and heads out on a cosmic gig that immediately goes off the rails. Space bends, faders get pushed, and the line between tour life and tabletop chaos disappears fast. Characters are introduced, alliances form, and bad decisions are made early. This is the beginning of a three part Folk Hogan DND saga and things only get weirder from here.
