The Boggs

The Boggs — vocalist/guitarist Jason Friedman, slide guitarist Zeke Healy, drummer Brad Conroy, and banjo player Phil Roebuck — began playing their raw, stripped-down version of folk on street corners and subway platforms in Brooklyn, NY, through the winter of 2001. After playing a gig at New York’s Mercury Lounge the next spring, Arena Rock and roll signed the music group. The label released its debut, WE HAVE BEEN the Boggs WE HAVE BEEN, in Feb 2002.
