In 2007 Barnstorm had produced the debut album for Chris Henderson. There were other artists who had recorded Sean Hogan songs such as the award winning Beverley Mahood, and Chris Taylor.
Once things shut down for live performances early in 2020, Barnstorm owner Sean Hogan resolved to keep writing, and to keep producing, but it wasn’t until the fall of 2020, that Sean decided to produce other artists who were known more as singers and not writers, per se, but to record those singers singing to he’d written if the artist liked the song enough to wish to sing it. As the pandemic wound down in it’s intensity, by 2022 commercial voice over for Barnstorm & Sean Hogan picked up, he was requested to be the voice for several commercials on U.S. and Canadian television and radio, (both singing and speaking) as the voice talent.
Hogan had a gut feeling his high quality awarding winning songs that were calibre wise already proven to appeal in Canada and beyond what with Hogan’s industry award nominations and wins in Canada and of course North America with Sound Exchange over the previous near 2 and half decades of songwriting.
A of 2020 Sean Hogan started BARNSTORM PRODUCTIONS LTD. Now at the time of this writing in January of 2025 Sean has produced since the fall of 2020 dozens of charting, high rotational spinning music for the likes of Teagan Littlechief, Nathan Cunningham, Tracy Bone, Gil Grand, Joey Pringle, Colin Amey, Terri Anne Strongarm, and of course Seneca Shaganappi to name just several of the singers who have recorded songs of Sean Hogan.
In late 2024 Hogan and his label Barnstorm Productions were prepping to release the 11th single of the year of which more than 80% were getting great traction.
At the same time a new vehicle for Sean’s voice was eliciting interest, that was as a main character in a major video game. At the time of this writing the game Hogan is voicing cannot be divulged due to a NDA signed, but by January of 2025 a followup request came in for Hogan to voice more of the game’s character into 2025.
Hogan is excited and very grateful for his indie label’s artists gaining even greater traction with their releases in mid January 2025 Tracy Bone‘s version of Sean’s song, “The Takeaway” was being met with great radio response being #1 Download on it’s first day of release, and being told it was yet another add (with kudos for the great tune) from Sirius Xm’s The Indigiverse on channel 165. This single release marking the 5th Tracy has done with Sean.
Meanwhile Hogan was already finishing up what would be the 10th single with Teagan Littlechief with Sean’s recently penned song “Shine On”. Hogan is stoked grateful and optimistic for his continued efforts and no doubt trips and fun and revolving around his love for the work he does with his musician and engineer friends and all that entails moving into the year ahead.
From the owner of Barnstorm Sean Hogan
I started a small indie label decades ago in the mid 90’s, for my own self-written and co-produced material. I’ve won many industry awards since, and toured many parts of the world. Late in 2020 I began producing artists on material I’ve written, and have so enjoyed doing that for several artists to date; while still writing performing and producing music for myself. I write, sing, play acoustic guitar and the drums. I studied music business and production in my 20’s and music theory and jazz as well. I have made music my living now for decades.
On this site, you’ll find music I’ve written and produced for others and myself. Plus a section where you can hear my voice over reel for commercials I’ve read and sung for U.S. and Canadian television and radio. It’s a privilege to create music for a living. Thoughts, take nothing for granted. Max out every day as best you can and be grateful in life.
