The apparition
Old sins. New ghosts.
Gallows West is the newest creative chapter from Nashville producer, songwriter, and artist Stacy Hogan, joined by his wife and vocalist Lauren Hogan. The project moves through dusty outlaw folk, gothic western atmosphere, cinematic alt-rock, and ghost-story Americana.
Originating as a project to give voice to Tanner Banks, the lead character in Scott Saxberg’s novel Cadillac Wheels, Gallows West has since become its own shadowed world — part ghost story, part modern gothic western songcraft, and part cinematic Americana.
Where the River Turns Red opened the door. Hell Is Empty takes the next step — darker, stranger, and still grounded in the cinematic storytelling that defines Gallows West.
