Soul Blues great Jeff Rogers ends the summer with a blast!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Soul Blues great Jeff Rogers ends the summer with a blast!

When Jeff Rogers decided to pull out all the stops and record his latest solo album, Dream Job, in the legendary town of Muscle Shoals in Alabama, he did everything right. With a house band of famous musicians including Kelvin Holly (Little Richard, Bobby Bland), Clayton Ivey (The Staple Sisters, Thelma Houston), Justin Holder (Keb Mo’, Delbert McClinton) and Shonna Tucker (Booker T. Jones, Drive-By-Truckers), Rogers’s piano playing and unmistakably soulful voice shines the way they should. Made of Rogers’ soul blues-style originals, the album features Grammy Award winner Colin Linden, Juno Award-winning singer Kellylee Evans, and is co-produced by Dick Cooper of The Cooper Brothers.

With a voice that evokes weighty comparisons to the past (Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, or even Otis Redding), serious blues piano chops, and an album nominated for the Soul Blues Album of The Year at the 17th Annual Blues Blast Music Awards in the U.S., Rogers is at the top of his game. Catch him at the Kemptville Street Piano on August 31st for our last concert of the season and hear what the fuss is about.

What is a Street Piano? It’s a piano placed in a public area that encourages passersby to stop and play.

Why a Street Piano? Who is it for? Street Pianos draw pedestrians, turning any location into a concert venue / cultural hub. By giving residents an instrument to play together, this project encourages locals to share their knowledge, initiate their own ‘play’, and create relationships, setting a precedent for positive experiences in Kemptville’s public spaces and inviting foot traffic to downtown businesses. Learn more about street pianos at http://www.streetpianos.com/.

When and where are the concerts taking place? This year the concert series takes place rain or shine on Saturday afternoons at 1pm from June to the end of August on the North Grenville Public Library terrace. The library is wheelchair accessible, with air-conditioned bathrooms and free parking. Need special accommodations to enjoy the show? Contact Lisa Poushinsky at [email protected]. Dogs on leashes welcome!

The series is graciously funded by the Municipality of North Grenville and the Government of Canada.
