SUMMARY:Garnet Rogers
DESCRIPTION:ADVANCE PURCHASE: $20\nAT THE DOOR: $25\nAll tickets will in
 cur an additional $4.50 surcharge.\nALL AGES\n\nBorn in Hamilton\, Ontar
 io to parents of Nova Scotian descent\, Garnet Rogers spent many hours i
 n front of the old floor model radio listening to Grand Ol’ Opry broad
 casts and harmonizing with his brother\, the late folk legend Stan Roger
 s. Two years later\, Garnet was playing the definitive 8-year-old’s ve
 rsion of “Desolation Row” on his ukulele. He soon abandoned that ins
 trument to teach himself the flute\, violin and guitar.\n\nAt 18\, Garne
 t was on the road as a full-time working musician with brother Stan. Tog
 ether they formed what has come to be accepted as one of the most influe
 ntial duos in the history of North American folk music. Garnet acted as 
 producer and arranger for his older brother from 1973 to 1983\, when Sta
 n died tragically in a plane crash.\n\nSince then\, Garnet has courageou
 sly established himself as a formidable solo artist. Hailed by the Bosto
 n Globe as a “…charismatic performer and singer — one of the major
  talents of our time\,” they continue by saying that “Garnet’s voc
 al and instrumental talents are complimented by an undeniably powerful p
 hysical presence — close to six and a half feet tall — with the lung
 s to match.” With his “smooth\, dark baritone” (Washington Post) h
 is incredible range and thoughtful\, dramatic phrasing\, Garnet is widel
 y considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers a
 nywhere. His music\, like the man himself\, is literate\, passionate\, h
 ighly sensitive\, and deeply purposeful. Cinematic in detail\, his songs
  give expression to the unspoken language of the heart. An optimist at h
 eart\, Garnet 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 audiences from 
 tears to laughter and back again.\n\nRogers has been the featured perfor
 mer on numerous television and radio programs including Much Music\, Mou
 ntain Stage\, and All Things Considered. He has been a headliner at conc
 ert venues and festivals such as Wolf Trap\, Lincoln Center\, and Art Pa
 rk\; sharing the stage with performers such as Mary Chapin Carpenter\, B
 illy Bragg\, Bill Monroe\, Ferron\, Greg Brown\, and Guy Clark. Though G
 arnet has enjoyed much popularity over the years\, he remains resolutely
  independent\, turning down offers from major labels to ensure that he c
 ontinues doing music his own way.
