Roy Rogers has been widely recognized as one of the world's finest practitioners and innovators of modern slide guitar
Rogers has been nominated for 8 Grammy's as producer, songwriter and performer. An exciting live performer, he has performed with Carlos Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Steve Miller, Linda Ronstadt, Sammy Hagar and many others. Rogers' has appeared at the worlds most prestigious festivals including Montreux, North Sea, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Featival - and festivals in Norway, Australia, France & Italy. Born in Redding, California in 1950, he began playing guitar at twelve years of age. A year later at age 13, he was performing in a rock 'n' roll band that wore gold lame jackets with velvet piping (!) and played Little Richard and Chuck Berry tunes. He discovered the great blues players early on, especially when his older brother brought home an album by Robert Johnson. Thus began his love of the blues, slide guitar in particular - which had an immediate effect on Roy, who was indeed named after the King of the Cowboys. Through the years he developed a distinctive style of playing slide guitar that is instantly recognizable.
