In a darkened bedroom, lit only by the amber glow from an old floor model radio, two young brothers aged 6 and 12 lay in their beds, listening to the country music broadcasts from the Grand Ol’ Opry, and practiced their harmonies. Two years later, the youngest one 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.
Within ten years, and barely out of high school, Garnet Rogers was on the road as a full-time working musician with his older brother Stan. Together they formed what has come to be accepted as one of the most influential acts in North American folk music.
Since then, Garnet Rogers has established himself as ‘One of the major talents of our time”. Hailed by the Boston Globe as a “charismatic performer and singer”, Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence – close to six and a half feet tall – with a voice to match. With his “smooth, dark baritone” (Washington Post) his incredible range, and thoughtful, dramatic phrasing, Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere. His music, like the man himself, is literate, passionate, highly sensitive, and deeply purposeful. Cinematic in detail, his songs “give expression to the unspoken vocabulary of the heart” (Kitchener Waterloo Record).
An optimist at heart, Garnet sings extraordinary songs about people who are not obvious heroes and of the small victories of the everyday. As memorable as his songs, his over-the-top humour and lightning-quick wit moves his audience from tears to laughter and back again.

There are songwriters who chronicle life, and then there's David Wilcox --- an artist who metabolizes it. He has long been a quiet force in American folk music, a musician's musician, a writer's writer and a seeker whose gift lies in the personal feel universal.
The music he's creating now comes from a place that can't be faked. In recent years, Wilcox's life has been shaped by his wife's Parkinson's diagnosis -- a shift that reordered his priorities and redefined his sense of time, love and presence. But rather than retreat, he leaned in. " Times get tough, and music gets good" he says and means it. His songs don't dramatize....they don't resolve neatly....they sit in the complexity of living.....open eyed, unafraid, quietly brave.
