SUMMARY:Garnet Rogers with special guest Tom Pirozzoli
DESCRIPTION: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.
  Since then\, Garnet Rogers has established himself as ‘One of the major
  talents of our time”. Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence
  with a voice to match. His music is literate\, passionate\, highly sens
 itive\, and deeply purposeful. Born in Hamilton\, Ontario to parents of 
 Nova Scotian descent\, Garnet Rogers spent many hours in front of the ol
 d floor model radio listening to Grand Ol' Opry broadcasts and harmonizi
 ng 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. At 18\, Garnet was on the road as a full-
 time working musician with brother Stan. Together they formed what has c
 ome to be accepted as one of the most influential duos in the history of
  North American folk music. Garnet acted as producer and arranger for hi
 s older brother from 1973 to 1983\, when Stan died tragically in a plane
  crash. Since then\, Garnet has courageously established himself as a fo
 rmidable solo artist. Hailed by the Boston Globe as a "...charismatic pe
 rformer and singer — one of the major talents of our time\,” they contin
 ue by saying that "Garnet’s vocal and instrumental talents are complimen
 ted by an undeniably powerful physical presence — close to six and a hal
 f feet tall — with the lungs to match.” With his "smooth\, dark baritone
 " (Washington Post) his incredible range and thoughtful\, dramatic phras
 ing\, Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of
  the finest singers anywhere. His music\, like the man himself\, is lite
 rate\, passionate\, highly sensitive\, and deeply purposeful. Cinematic 
 in detail\, his songs give expression to the unspoken language of the he
 art. An optimist at heart\, Garnet sings extraordinary songs about peopl
 e who are not obvious heroes and of the small everyday victories. As mem
 orable as his songs\, his over-the-top humor and lightning-quick wit mov
 e his audiences from tears to laughter and back again. Rogers has been t
 he featured performer on numerous television and radio programs includin
 g Much Music\, Mountain Stage\, and All Things Considered. He has been a
  headliner at concert venues and festivals such as Wolf Trap\, Lincoln C
 enter\, and Art Park\; sharing the stage with performers such as Mary Ch
 apin Carpenter\, Billy Bragg\, Bill Monroe\, Ferron\, Greg Brown\, and G
 uy Clark. Though Garnet has enjoyed much popularity over the years\, he 
 remains resolutely independent\, turning down offers from major labels t
 o ensure that he continues doing music his own way. For more than thirty
  years Tom’s simple path has been a life rich in music\, art and travel\
 , yielding a career filled with nine studio albums\, numerous songwritin
 g credits\, and collaborations with other artists such as Willy Porter\,
  Joyce Andersen and David Wilcox. Tom’s sophisticated guitar work forms 
 the rich backdrop for his warm tenor that delivers melodies and lyrics e
 xploring the full range of the human and global experience. Tom’s painti
 ngs have a distinctive approach that embodies the palette of Matisse\, R
 othko’s broad bands of color\, and the mercurial qualities of American I
 mpressionism. The synthesis of color and his unaffected approach to repr
 esentation has produced a resonant and evocative body of work. A self-ta
 ught guitarist and painter\, Tom’s music found it’s way into New England
  coffeehouses and street corners at the age of 19. The sense of endless 
 possibility and adventure of the 1970s lead to travels – initially throu
 gh Europe and South America\, later to India and Southeast Asia\, then e
 ventually to China and Tibet. His encounters with such an array of peopl
 e\, cultures\, and ideas\, have contributed to and enriched both his pai
 nting\, music and lyrical content. Tom was named a winner in MUSICIAN ma
 gazine’s Best Unsigned Band Contest\, resulting in a national Warner Bro
 s. Records release. His subsequent album “Travels” (Great Northern Arts)
  spent 13 weeks in the AAA Charts top 40 albums. Several of his original
  recordings also reside in the Smithsonian Folkways Collection via Fast 
 Folk Musical Magazine. In addition to presenting art exhibits\, Tom tour
 ed internationally—working with artists such as Greg Brown\, Jesse Winch
 ester\, and Doc Watson. Tom also began performing and collaborating with
  Milwaukee- based guitarist Willy Porter\, co-writing many songs that ha
 ve been featured on Porter’s albums\, including “Try to Forget” and the 
 title song on Willy’s Human Kindness record. L.J. Booth and John Gorka h
 ave used Tom’s paintings as CD covers. LIVE MUSIC POETRY & FICTION WORKS
