“A brilliant songwriter. One of the major talents of our time.” – The Boston Globe
“The greatest interpreter and vocalist performing in the contemporary folk scene.” – Sing Out
Born in Hamilton, Ontario to parents of Nova Scotian descent, Garnet Rogers spent many hours listening to Grand Ol’ Opry radio broadcasts and harmonizing with his brother, the late folk legend Stan Rogers. At 18, he was on the road as a full-time working musician with brother Stan, forming one of the most influential duos in the history of North American folk music. Since then, Garnet has courageously established himself as a formidable solo artist, performing across North America, everywhere from small town folk clubs to the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.
With his “smooth, dark baritone” (Washington Post), his incredible range, and thoughtful, dramatic phrasing, Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere. An optimist at heart, he sings extraordinary songs about people who are not obvious heroes and of the small everyday victories. As memorable as his songs, his over-the-top humor and lightning-quick wit move his audience from tears to laughter and back again.
“I want to go back to these places I’ve been playing at since 1976,” he said. “These are the clubs I’ve grown up with, that I learned how to play as a solo performer after Stan was killed, but places that Stan and I played for years before that.”
Rogers is also a published author, releasing his memoir Night Drive: Travels with My Brother and the novels 6 Crows Gold and As the Crow Flies.
