Mogen’s Heroes is a fine-tuned trio that has been pleasing Midwestern audiences since 1978. Like the South Dakota weather, they are apt to change styles instantly.
Founded by Waubay, S.D., native John Mogen (keyboards), the group also features Bill Hoffman (drums and a Redfield, S.D., native) and Denny Gale (guitar and a Wagner, S.D., native).
Gale is considered one of South Dakota’s finest guitar players. Hoffman’s incredibly versatile vocals highlight the Heroes’ harmonies, and Mogen’s forty years in music education round out this trio’s personality.
Mogen’s Heroes loves to entertain a variety of listeners, including State and County Fair-goers, wedding dancers and Arts Festival attendees. This threesome thoroughly enjoys having fun with music, blending humor with harmonies to please all ages.
