GARNET ROGERS - A Mad Folk favorite!

Barely out of high school, Garnet Rogers was on the road as a full- time working musician with his older brother Stan. Together they formed what has come to be accepted as one of the most influential acts in North American folk music. Since that time, Garnet Rogers has established himself as 'One of the major talents of our time." Hailed by the Boston Globe as a "charismatic performer and singer," Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence - close to six and a half feet tall - with a voice to match. 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. His music, like the man himself, is literate, passionate, highly sensitive, and deeply purposeful.
    Resolutely independent, Garnet Rogers has turned down offers from major labels to do his music his own way.

"Garnet Rogers may be the greatest male interpreter and vocalist performing in the contemporary folk scene... a first rate writer...musical integrity and powerful performance... "  (Sing Out Magazine)
"I have found strength and comfort in his songs. This is good and rich and big music. Welcome one and all. Come on in. Get down."  (Greg Brown)
