Garnet Rogers

“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

“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

Born in Hamilton, Ontario to parents of Nova Scotian descent, Garnet Rogers spent many hours in front of the old floor model radio listening to Grand Ol' Opry broadcasts and harmonizing with his brother, the late folk legend Stan Rogers. Two years later, Garnet was playing the definitive 8-year-old's version of "Desolation Row" on his ukulele. He soon abandoned that instrument to teach himself the flute, violin and guitar.
