Benjamin Rogers

Vancouver, BC

"Out with the new, in with the old" is the mantra of folk singer Ben Rogers. Influenced by the likes of Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, Rogers is a true storyteller. His songs are filled with vivid images that tell timeless tales of murder, God, betrayal, war and the human condition through a voice of smoked damaged velvet soaked in Tennessee Whiskey. He has shared the stage with artists like Mark Berube, Josh Martinez, C.R. Avery and has worked in the studio with renowned musicians including Jesse Zubot (Drip Audio/Zubot and Dawson) and Big Sugar frontman Gordie Johnson. Rogers will be touring extensively throughout North America in support of his debut, self-titled album that is set to be released in the Fall of 2008. From the epic opening track The Dealer to the anthemic closer Goodnight Forever, the record will leave listeners spellbound.
