“Rogers can compose songs that are far above the ordinary. He sings it like Hemingway would have written it. I would compare Mark to James Taylor’s music, but Mark has a little more whiskey in his milk than Taylor. The troubadour tradition is a tapestry in Mark’s hands not mere drapery.” – John Apice — Americana Highways

Since 2017, Mark Rogers has released a remarkable catalog of melodic Indie Pop/Folk Rock music. In September 2024, he released his third and unmistakably, best album yet: “30 Minutes from Water Street”. Mark Rogers demonstrates unique songwriting abilities with lyrical storylines that invite and compel the listener. Although you’ll recognize his utilization of some of the best elements of California and British classic rock, Mark is far from a retro act. His infectious chord changes and harmonies, while they may both surprise and ring familiar, serve as guideposts into some fairly diverse musical terrain.

In 2024, Mark released four singles. “Natalie”, “To Open Your Eyes” and “Prison Block 9” reached the top of the international Radio Indie Alliance charts and “California 10” hit #8 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart. Mark’s first two LP’s: 2019’s “Laying It Down” and 2021’s “Rhythm of the Roads” both debuted in the top 20 on the EuroAmericana chart and skimmed the top 100 on the US AMA. His music has received wonderful reviews in “No Depression”; “Americana Highways”; “TheIndieSource”; “Lonesome Highways” and many more. His recordings have achieved worldwide radio airplay and have been added to scores of streaming playlists.

Mark typically performs solo/acoustic. He blends humor and humility along with his easily accessible songwriting and persona. He performs with other musicians and/or a full band on occasion. Mark has recently opened for Karla Bonoff, Luck Kaplansky, John Ford Coley and Loudon Wainwright III.
