GARY OGAN
As a veteran of 35 years in the music business, and CEO / manager of the new Portland, Oregon based music conglomerate, Sound Ground, Gary maintains a youthful enthusiasm in his quest for new music and fresh projects. From his first major label release on Elektra Records in 1972, called Portland, Gary has created an ever-evolving world of activity. Moving to Los Angeles in 1977 to sign with Leon Russellâs Paradise Records on the Warner Brothers label, Gary released his first self-titled album that year, co-produced with Russell. He also co-produced Leon and Mary Russellâs duet album, Make Love to the Music, and toured the U.S. extensively with them, including shows at Radio City Music Hall and the Universal Amphitheater. In the mid-90âs, Gary and his wife, Laurie, moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he was signed as a staff songwriter with Sony/ATV Tree. Gary has shared the stage with countless star performers, from the Hollies to Phoebe Snow to Dennis Miller to Nicolette Larson. His multi-faceted talents and highly-tuned sense of nurturing the excellence of any project he devotes himself to give him the essential qualities to take his dream of over three years to fruition, namely Sound Ground and its success.
