Stolen Ogre is an American rock band based in Seattle, Washington. Michael McMorrow and Blues Traveler drummer Brendan Hill formed the group after they met on the H.O.R.D.E. tour in the mid-1990s.

The band's current members are lead singer/songwriter Pamela Tobiason, keyboardist/songwriter Michael McMorrow, guitarist David Simpson, saxophonist/singer the Reverend Scott "Junior" Adams, bassist Marc Willett and drummer Rick Boice. Brendan Hill's Traveler duties eventually led him to stop his regular appearances with the group, although he went on to record with the band on Road To Jericho and still remains a creative collaborator.

The band takes its name from a child's doll that Hill spotted on the roadside of the German Autobahn. Christened 'Ogre', and enthroned on Hill's drum kit, it became his good luck mascot through Blues Traveler's early years. After Ogre vanished on tour, McMorrow, Hill and company adopted the name in playful tribute to the circumstances.

In the spring of 2004, Stolen Ogre released their first full-length album Road to Jericho on the Seattle-based Shadowhawk Records. Two songs, "Jericho" and "Love Me Alone" went on to receive airplay nationwide.

Pennsylvania's WVIA-FM had the album on the charts for eight weeks with it peaking at #2 for two weeks. Enigma Magazine noted of the CD, "Bottom line it's rock, folk, jam and pop all mixed together into one big happy concoction."
