Detroit, MI, U.S.
Born and raised in Southwest Detroit near Central and McGraw Streets, Bogdon’s roots run deep in the city’s working‐class culture. His father, a Detroit Fire Department Captain, instilled in him a toughness and resilience that has carried through his decades‐long career in music.
Bogdon has performed in venues ranging from stadiums and theaters to bars, bowling alleys, laundromats, and street corners. His musical journey has taken him to unexpected places, including a 2016 performance at Carnegie Hall with the international ensemble Bash the Trash.
Beyond music, Bogdon is also a renowned inventor, gaining notoriety for creating the Bogdon Box Bass, which was featured on the History Channel’s Invention USA and earned him a cover story in Bass Player Magazine (January 2018).
Adding to his unique un-signed career, Bogdon’s former band, Skeleton Crew, even made a pop culture cameo in Beyoncé’s “Flawless” music video.
Amidst all of this, he continues to balance life as a mailman, husband, and father of three, recording his original music in a self‐built basement studio fueled by late‐night creativity.
