A critically acclaimed singer/songwriter, Nathan Rogers pays homage to his father Stan’s work with a one-time-only cross-Canada tour Nathan Sings Stan – The Rogers Legacy Continues. Nathan explains, "These are great songs – well-written, well-crafted songs. The way we do them sounds a lot like the live recordings we have of Stan, a lot like the studio recordings we have of Stan, and that level of authenticity is really exciting, not just to hear it, but to be in the middle of it." Song of the Candle, Barrett's Privateers, Northwest Passage, Mary Ellen Carter, 45 Years, Fogarty's Cove ... There is no one better to bring these much-loved treasures to audiences with new life and voice than Stan's son, Nathan.
Joining Nathan for this tour is Andrew Bryan on fiddle, JD Edwards on guitars and harmonicas with David Woodhead or Trevor Mills (depending on the city) on bass. Both David & Trevor have an association with Stan. David toured and recorded with Stan in the early years and Trevor is the son of Stan’s long-time record producer Paul Mills (Curly Boy Stubbs). Nathan will anchor the works on 6- and 12-string Laskin guitars, the same type his father favoured, and of course that incredibly resonant Rogers voice.
"Winnipeg-based Nathan Rogers (son of Canadian Folk icon the late Stan Rogers) filled the stage with acoustic brilliance." - Peterborough Examiner
"He will move men and women to tears with his sound and his conviction." - Uptown Magazine
"The resemblance is unmistakable: The same hairline and solid build. The same political edge, satirical bite, lightning wit and contempt for fools. The same vocal timbre that provides a bed for a rich baritone. The same way with words and melody." - Kitchener Record
