Saw you and your brother perform at the Canmore festival a few years back and I had a short chat with you guys.Where are you performing in Olds on March 16 and how can I get tickets

John

March 5, 2009

I just heard the entire Mary's Child and Jewel of Paris. Lovely set of songs with the same central character. My French is lousy, perhaps I could beg the lyrics for Jewel of Paris to see the name of Mary's child in print as his foster mother refered to him?

I heard your live performance on the CBC Radio 2 website ("Nathan Rogers at Sumerfest"). Lovely guitar and technique. Please spend a little more time tuning it: flat strings detract from the lovely lyric and heart of the song.

Thanks for your music.

I do not see your name up for Stanfest 2009 but sure wish it was there.

Can't stop listening! Truly phenominal. Don't quit what you are doing. Oh, and if you could possibly keep me from going insane:
What is the line immediately following "He was brown in the shade....." in Jewel of Paris?

HI PAUL - NOTE FROM THE EDITOR - THE LINE IS "THE BILLOWED SAILS MADE"

Saw a video of you on youtube, you're bloody amazing! Haven't been able to stop listening to Jewel of Paris. I hope you will come back to Regina soon, as I missed your show.

Enjoyed your show so much here in Regina. I see you are doing the Home Routes concerts in Alberta in March - call me about splaying here on your way thru- may be a small complication but we can negotiate...

January 30, 2009

Hi Nathan: Thanks for a wonderful show last night in Regina; your new material is so strong. I can hardly wait for The Gauntlet to be released. They'll love you in the Hat!

Hey Nathan,
You probably don't remember me, met ages ago at a small festival in CT. Looks like you're doing great, glad to see that! An even better musician than I remembered.
Wishing you health and happiness....

Looking forward to your concert in Feb. in London Ontario,

Love the new videos you posted. Looking forward to seeing you perform in Toronto soon!

How in the hell has True Stories not been nominated for a Juno? It should be up there for the "best traditional/roots - solo" alongside Francey, Rutledge, Lund and Oh Susanna for sure.

If you had the amounts of "roots" on your head as you do in your music you'd look like chewbacca!

Anyway, I love your music. I'm yet to catch a show, I'm always out of the country when your near my town. That Jewel of Paris is unreal, among the rest!

Thanks for playing your music!

Nathan,your Dad would be very proud of you, as I'm sure your Mum is. You have the same gift your Dad had, so take the torch and run like hell. Don't forget to be yourself. You are not your Dad re-incarnated, you are Nathan, in your own right. You are every bit as gifted in the way you make music, as your Dad was, so pay homage to him now and then, but do your own thing, you are great. I hope you get the recognition your Dad did not, as far as I'm concerned. Give 'er shit.

Nathan,

Come and play here in Truckee, CA. You'd enjoy the Lake Tahoe area. We could book you some gigs for while you're here!

or not!

Having already been a Stan fan, I was blown away to stumble onto your website. I'm interested in the lyrics to Jewel of Paris. Keep up the great work.

Brunel Delorme

December 8, 2008

Nathan...alot of music fans have had the pleasure of enjoying your father's music before your own. Unfortunately I, on the other hand was not exposed to that... I thank you so much for dropping the CD off at the store... I hope that I soon will have the pleasure of seeing you live!

Cheers and continued success!

Bru @ Roma's!

I saw you at Belmont Station in Maryland last year for my friends birthday. Are you coming back anytime soon?

Constant Librarian

December 4, 2008

What a voice you have! It's extraordinary. I've been a devoted folkie since my teens, and just discovered you. How could I have missed you for so long? I can't travel so please come sing in the Washington DC area soon.
What your government did to support of the arts rivals the stupidity of the Bush administration. (I can't go lower than that.)
Best wishes to you, I'm off to hunt down your albums and will drive my household crazy with them.

edmonton fan

November 24, 2008

Chiming in on your show at the Northern Lights Nov 15. You are charming and personable, you play guitar extremely well, and your voice is wonderful to listen to.

Your repetoire is getting more varied and interesting, but please don't stop singing your Dad's songs. To have gone from hearing him live a couple of times a year to NOTHING is still so very hard to take. Sing them with the love they deserve. Your own songs are very dear already, they are Nathan's voice and nobody else's. I look forward to your next cd.

And I have to say, there is no one like the Rogers men to make my soul ache with the beauty of their music and I end up blubbering during EVERY concert :)

Nice to see the folk fest people there, especially if it means you'll be gracing our stages in August.

Be well, Nathan, blessings in heaps on you and your young family.

Roz Larman

November 18, 2008

Hi
I hope is well. It was nice spending some time with you at FarWest. I hope you make it again next year.

Do you know if Nathan is going to be in Nova Scotia for either the Blues Fest up in Chevrie/Walton or at his Dad's fest this summer? I was hoping to see him while I lived out west and missed him on this end now, timing sucks. Anyhow curious, looks like a pretty full tour around and back? Take care...
& thanks

A few weeks ago a man sent me an email message for Nathan Rogers. It was extremely moving and unusual in its passion. While trying to forward it to Nathan I commited an email faux pas and hit the spam button instead. As a result, I could not retrieve the message. If you have relatively recently sent a message to Nathan's manager and did not get a reply, please try to send it again or post it here. In hitting the spam button I may have blocked you from my account. Please do not be discouraged and I hope I can reach you here! It was a lovely message!

I have to confess to being a new fan, but by jingo, Im glad I am! It seems you are touring in 2009 and coming to Runcorn (UK) of all places! I live just 5 minutes over the Mersey in Widnes so will defo be coming to see you. Im so happy to have found your music and am so excited about the opportunity to see you play live in the UK. Your music inspires me and sends shivers down my spine, as does Stans. Incredible talent, Im spreading the word!

When can we expect the new album? I'm still wanting to have my OWN copy of Jewel of Paris...

Thnx very interesting.

David Stuve

October 21, 2008

Wow.
I first heard your father's music just a year ago on the local college station on a wet windy night they played "One Warm Line" and I came home and googled his name. I sat and watched the documentary twice that night and was moved to tears to find he was no longer with us, this wonderful talent that I'd just discovered I'd never see in person.
The apple doesn't far fall from the tree. I hope to see and hear you play someday.
Please come play in Oregon

Greg Turnbull

October 17, 2008

Heard you on YV the other day for the first time. Am re-reading "An Unfinished Conversation" So it was fitting that I should discover your music, True Stories is great. I must check out Garnet's new album. Was in Britain this past summer wish I could be there this coming summer to see you. Keep up the good work.

We were at Stanfest this year and had a blast but I was hoping to see you perform. Maybe you will make it to Canso next year?

September 19, 2008

I was fortunate enough to hear Nathan (my first time)recently at the Eaglewood Folk Festival. Along with Evelyn Parry, they did a workshop called "my dead dad". Having lost my father recently, it was somewhat upsetting but thoroughly enjoyable. I became an instant fan. I look forward to seeing Nathan at his own shows, and I plan to see as many as possible (I will be at the Hugh's Room tribute as well as the other Toronto area shows that are coming up.. Thank you again. Music is everything, keep the faith!
PS: Garnett's home made beer was a treat.

I am living in the Lake Tahoe Area with my wife Janet and two children (Cameron & Quinn). California has been good to me.
All is good - just very busy with the 1yr old and 3yr old!!

Be safe.

September 2, 2008

Hello again everyone!

Rachel Squire

Thanks very much, I love Iqaluit and her people. Cheers to you and thanks. What a wonderful place!

amanda farrell

Hi amanda, the song you are referring to is The Jewel of Paris and I don't yet have it recorded. However, it is part 2 of a three part series. Part one is on True Stories, my first disc, and it's called Mary's Child. Thanks very much.

Kathleen Gilligan

Thanks for the info on Vashon Island. If I'm coming that way we will take every measure to be there. I have no explicit plans to be in the west soon, but you never know. Thanks for supporting the family's music!! Cheers.

Todd Wees

Cousin Todd!! What a treat. Hope you are well. Thanks for the thumbs up. Where are you living these days?

Barry Pietersen

Thanks for supporting the Stanfest and the town of Canso. There are a lot of people who really appreciate it. The whole family does music and there is a wide variety of subject matter. Enjoy!

Liska

Thanks very much. I had a great time at Home County Folk Festival this summer. Thanks for dropping in to see the show! If you can support the ferstival in any way, they will love you for it. They are a free to the public festival and they have been for 30 years or something crazy like that! Good fun!

edmonton fan

Thanks for the birthday wishes! I have a gig in edmonton coming up in November, I think around the 15th, a double bill with the incredible Old Man Luedeke at the Northern Lights Folk Club. See you there?

Sylvia

Thanks very much and Cheers! to the Mission Folk Festival, another quality festival. Hold the Line has created very emotional responses from my listeners. I hope I captured something meaningful.

Jim Hanlon

Thanks a ton, buddy! Really nice to see you there. Cheers to Canso and to you and yours. Had a great time that night. See you soon I hope!

Buck Miller

Thanks very much. Stay tuned for a studio version on the upcoming CD.

timothy williams and tim williams

I hope I am correct in thinking that you two are the same person. Thanks very much for supporting the family's music. If you haven't already, check out Garnet's new CD. It's always a real pleasure to know that we have participated in this crazy manic thing called folk music. Thanks for being a part of it. Laskin guitars do seriously kick a**.

ross derrick

Thanks for your support, sir. I cannot exaggerate how important your response is to my music. I literally cannot do this without people like you. Thanks!

Sarah MacDonald

Thanks very much. Hamilton wasn't the worst place to grow up, but you'll pardon me I'd say I prefer Winnipeg. Thanks for listening to the family craft, there's lots of neat material there. Cheers!

timothy gormley

Thanks very much, the new CD will be ready this winter, ideally for X-Mas.

So, stay tuned folks. The next album arrives soon. Here's a teaser; some song titles to whet your collective appetites from the new CD, "The Gauntlet"

Better than Me
Moving Mountains
The Gauntlet
Billboard babies
Carmerica
The Jewel of Paris
Fingerprints
Naamche Bazaar
The Puddler's Tale
Willie O' Winsbury
and 2 or 3 more in the works....

Thanks everyone for your support. See you at a concert venue/house concert/arena show sooner rather than later!

Cheers and thanks as always to my dear wife, Amber who has a hot ass.

New album - we must have a new album

You're young and brilliant. Get to work.

Sarah MacDonald

August 28, 2008

Nathan, I'm in awe. My father used to occasionally jam with your father after hours in clubs in Hamilton - I grew up there, and you and I were born just about a year apart. Your father's music has been an enormous part of my entire life, and now I'm delighted and eager to discover yours. Best wishes from an expat Canadian!

ross derrick

August 22, 2008

Nathan, you introduced me to the music of Stan years ago now, when I lived in winnipeg. I was wondering what you were up to and found your site. Your music is amazing, never thought you had that voice. I am getting the CD and I think it will quickly become a favorite. Cheers.

tim williams

It was such fun to see you perform at the Mission Folk Festival, most of it made me grin from ear to ear, and then "Hold the Line" was the one I went home humming... thanks so much.

Belated Happy Birthday to you, Nathan. Enjoy the last of yer 20's ha ha. PlEEEEEEase come to Edmonton to play for us soon. :)

Liska

July 21, 2008

I saw you quite by accident in London yesterday. I was walking back to my car when this great music stopped me in my tracks. A grin plastered on my face, I did what any other person who was already late would do...I walked over into the park to see who was playing. I ended up staying and listening with my friend until the end. Thanks for the heartfelt music.

Barry Pietersen

July 18, 2008

Nathan I was really hoping to see you perform at the Stan Rogers Festival this year - 2008. I only recently discovered your fathers music and I like what I've heard of your music especially that youtube bit in Iqaluit. Do you do much performing in Toronto?

Todd Wees

July 9, 2008

Cheers Nate. Finally able to check out your website, and music. I am very impressed. Keep it going.

your cousin Todd from Lake Tahoe!

Kathleen Gilligan

July 6, 2008

Hello Nathan:

I have a daughter, Garnet V. Burk, named because her Father & I so enjoyed the Roger's family music while rebuilding our wooden ketch in Port Townsend, WA. Would you consider traveling down to the western States to play? We have a strong maritime tradition here in Washington State. Port Townsend, and my home town, Vashon Island, would welcome you. Vashon even has a small theatre where Jimmy Messina just played to a loyal group of followers. We've also hosted Shawn Colvin and Ani DiFranco. Please consider heading south - we would welcome you and I could set up the venue! Kathleen

amanda farrell

July 5, 2008

Music is my passion...I heard this song and fell in love..I've searched tons for information about this song, and was unsuccessful..I wanted to be sure I had the right name so I can buy the cd its on...The jewel of paris?? Would love to get a line back..dyin to get your cd.
Amanda

Rachel Squire

July 1, 2008

Hi Nathan, I just watched your Canada Day performance in Iqaluit as well as the evening before. I absolutely love your music and thought both shows were terrific. Thanks for coming all the way up here and I hope you return!

Bernice Haley

June 23, 2008

Wow - just checked your itinerary and to see that you will be in Nunavut, just a couple of days before Mariposa --- incredible. Also -- checking your schedule thru next year --- YIKES --- you're a busy lad! I go way back to Mariposa '89(Molson Park), when you were just a "young'un".
The "Workshop Schedule" sounds amazing for this year's Festival.
See You next week and hopefully, you'll have exciting Iqaluit photos.
Cheers
Bernie

Nathan Rogers

June 20, 2008

Hey everyone!

Off to Iqaluit very soon for fun in the 22 hour sun...

Blair Schneider

Thanks very much for the Hibbing feedback. I have always found it funny that I wrote a song about a place I've never been to. There's a video of the song on Youtube under my name and the song title. Cheers!

Darrell Stewart

Thanks very much. I don't play in Winnipeg much these days but that may change soon. Thanks for your support!

Grandma Sandi
Can't wait to see you. Looks like a great lineup this year.

Miss G

Darling it wouldn't have been a show without you. Thanks for coming and I hope to see you soon.

kimberly

Sorry but the closest I am coming to Calgary is the Tongue on the Post Folk Festival on January 31 of 2009 in Medecine Hat. Sorry it can't be sooner or closer!

Thanks everyone who supports the show, the cd, the man himself. I am at work keeping bills paid and family fed with a restaurant job so I have little time for music. Soon, however, I will hit the road and squeeze some creative juices into a new disc. Most of it is written but now I have to learn the songs. It's a strange process I may share with you sometime.....

Cheers and Thanks!

Nathan

Hey nathan when are you comming back to calgary or better yet lethbridge ? you had to come the one weekend of the year i was busy with my mom lol ! i may just have to catch you over in scotland that would be fun eh .. hey did you hear that molly rankin is doing stan fest this year ? are you going to be there ? how is the baby doing ? she singing yet ?

Miss G

May 27, 2008

Nathan, just had to say, you were at your absolute finest at the West End CC on May 25. What a privilege it was to be there to see you. And to be recognized by my giggle :) All the best success for you in your career and your family. Your hard work on both fronts is paying off big time.

Nathan Rogers

Jonathan Walton

Thanks for coming to the show!
I love Madison! What a nice place, seems rather bohemian. Closest thing to Canada that I've found south of the border. I checked out that DB guy and made contact with him over myspace. It would be cool to jam sometime

Cheers!

Stephen Raby

Sorry you missed the show Stephen, maybe next time! The throatsinging is a pile of fun and so is Garnet's Home Made Beer. Most of my audience are between 35 and 80 years of age and are 60% female. Interesting market demographics for a 28 year-old folk singer!

Thanks!

BJ

Thanks for the info on R. Feynman!
Hope you liked the show!

Paul Chappel

Hey Paul! I'm still using the theory you taught me all the time. Great to hear from you. drop me an email through the website contact info and I will get back to you.

Cheers!!

Nicolas Séguin

Great to meet you Nic! Great job, too! Send pics of any kind digital or hard copy to the contact info on this website.

Cheers!

Sandra Brooks

Thanks very much! Those are powerful memories for me too! See you at Mariposa. Come introduce yourself!

Cheers!

Karen Currie

I would love to come to Maine, especially if I was doing an East Coast US/Canada tour. Not a far-fetched prospect. Where would I play though??? Any tips!?

Cheers!

Judi & David Erickson

Can't yet say where I'll be or when but I appreciate you constant support and thanks for supporting Garnet, too. Our family in very blessed to be able to do this for a living. It is because of folks like you.

Cheers!

Dave Cunningham

Thanks very much. Great venue, too! Thanks for your support.

Cheers!

Thanks very much everyone. Those of you outside Manitoba, please stay tuned to the Calendar part of the website for more info. Those in the Winnipeg area interested in catching a great show should come to the West End Cultural Centre in Winnipeg to see a Mayworks presentation of Mr. Mayhem Himself, Nathan Rogers with special guest Chris Carmichael. Should be a lot of fun! Please come out if you can and thanks to everyone for your incredible support!

Cheers!

Nathan

Well said, Karen....we have been living aboard in South Portland, ME for a couple of years now - but have seen Nathan "rock Canso" at the Folk Festival.

Nathan, we enjoyed having Garnett here in April - now, it's your turn. Make it in the early Fall - when we'll be back from Philip's Harbour, OK?

Kisses to your girls!

Om mani padme hum,

Judi & David Erickson (the old hippies)- who will miss you this year at StanFest!!!

Karen Currie

May 3, 2008

I literally stumbled on you via that dastardly YouTube the other day while looking for some musician friends from Halifax. Let me say I should "stumble" more often -- what an absolute treat it was to have found you and your music. Please come to Portland, Maine one day. You would absolutely blow this town away. Bravo!
Karen

Sandra Brooks

April 29, 2008

I knew sitting around the campfire listening to you belt out Northwest Passage as a wee lad that you'd go on to your own musical career. Good on you Nathan, I'll see ya at Mariposa.
PS..say Hi to Beth and Kate for me!

Nicolas Séguin

Just thought I would say hi. I had a great time working with you in Iqualuit. I'd love to send you a few photos from the Great White North.

Take care buddy!

April 8, 2008

Nathan,

Here are some references to Richard Feynman, the physicist interested in Tuvan throat singing which my daughter and I mentioned to you after the Madison concert. The first one has a link to Friends of Tuva.

http://www.feynmanonline.com/

The next website is a description of his last autobiography which Jen thought you might appreciate:

http://www.wwnorton.com/catalog/fall00/032092.htm

And this is a description of the book his colleague wrote about the trip they hoped to take to Tuva:

http://www.wwnorton.com/catalog/spring00/32069.htm

Hope there is a song in it somewhere for you.

BJ

Stephen Raby

April 6, 2008

Sir,
My daughter was at your concert last night in Madison, Wisconson. All kudos to you; she particularly enjoyed the 'throat' singing. She too was shocked by the dearth of her age and yours in the audience.I have brought her up in the music of both your father and uncle.She related to me the 'Barrett's Privateers' parody you did and am quite envious indeed.Hope someday to see you in person.Looking forward to the release of your next CD/album...yea, I'm 'old'.

S.C.Raby

Jonathan Walton

April 6, 2008

Nathan,

I greatly enjoyed your performance in Madison, Wisconsin tonight!! Thanks for your energy and work that was evident in show. (And the comment that learning to throatsing took about 2 years of daily practice). This guy is from Madison and is a throatsinger and nature mimic (I guess I would call it) at http://www.myspace.com/dbpedersen or http://www.skullsofheaven.com/index.php?page=label#392
DB is an interesting cat to be sure.

Thanks again,
Jonathan

Nathan

April 1, 2008

Hello everyone. Woe to the man who lets his guestbook replies stack up!!!!

Okay, so here we go. For those of you who follow my lunatic antics closely you will know I just got back from Iqaluit, Nunavut. Man, that was great, check it out as soon as you can.

Jane Hessdorfer

Thanks very much. Airdrie was fun. See you in May I hope!

edmonton fan

Back sometime soon, can't remember offhand, please check the Calendar part of the website for details.

lynn fischer

Great to run into you! Nice to see you survived Appleby. Thanks very much for coming to the show.
Bragg Creek is a nice place. The baby grows in leaps and bounds and it's a huge head trip.
Cheers!

John Umlah

Thanks for coming to the show, John. I can't express how much I appreciate your support. I also cannot express how fulfilling it is to write your own music. Whether or not you perform in public it is the best thing in the world. Keep at it!

Greg

Thanks very much for your continued support of my family's music. We take it very seriously and I hope that people will come to see the Rogers family as a multi-generational songwriting organism where it's many members achieve notoriety according to their own talents. Cheers!

sylvia

Thanks for coming to the show! Indeed, Hooters make me happy. No live album yet, maybe a few years. First, album two. Cheers!

Natalie Rennie

Thanks for singing along! Stan wrote those songs for Canadians like you. I can't wait to play in Calgary again. I always have a good time. Thanks very much.

heather jones

Thanks and Cheers! See you soon!

Matt Kozera

New album later this year!

Randy & Marylin Kipley

Thanks very much. I like to pay tribute to my family's music. I do some Garnet songs, too. It's a joy to be part of this tradition.
Cheers!

Don LeBlanc

Thanks for coming. Accoustic gigs are tough. House concerts are great though. The roads continued to be scary until I was South of Syracuse NY!! Cheers, stay tuned for more album info.

Planetarium Scott

Cool to see you on the flight! Yes, Moving Mountains and Jewel of Paris will be keystone songs on the next disc. I'm trying to get it done this summer. Cheers!

Cheers Craig. I may still have a scar from that day. Don't worry, it's one of many. Great to touch base with you. I will forward your regards on to the proper authorities. And don't worry, a bass player did me a good turn once. Hitchiking outside of Banff, I got a ride from John Stockfish. It's a funny story. Take care, sir.

Frank Wheeler

Frank, my man! Stay informed on my touring schedule and I am back in Ontario very soon. Call Mom's place to get more details. Cheers!

Thanks for coming to the show. What a great venue! Man, even the train going by didn't spoil it. Thanks very much!

Chuck Weinberg

Your words are too kind, sir. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, cause I sure did. Nice to meet some closet prog rockers. I appreciate you support. Thanks and I hope to see you again soon!

Thanks very much. I had a great time in the Chicago area. Thanks to my friends Rich, David, Carol, Edith and so many others who made Chicago memorable.

David Child

Thanks very much! In case you are wondering, the rings are so large that it would be more likely for me to lose an ear than to have it cut through. Just physics I guess. Thank you so much for supporting my music. My whole family appreciates it.

John Bowen

Thanks very much, I will take good care of my voice. You are wrong about one thing, though. I sort of resemble my dad but I'm much better looking.

A.A.Adams

Sorry, no Stanfest this year. I'm working at Mariposa that weekend. Cheers!

Denise

Thanks very much. I had a great time in Iqaluit. What an adventure! It's hard to process all of it but I am certainly impressed thus far. Can't wait to get back. No Newfoundland dates as of yet. Moving Mountains will be on the next disc. Should be done by this summer. Cheers!

Susan

Thanks for supporting my family and please stay tuned for more information on the new album. And I'm gald you liked Garnet's...Beer. It's a favourite of mine too. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Everyone, thanks so very much. It is because of all of you that I am able to live my dream. It's a wonderful thing be a part of the cultural legacy of my family and my country. Please stay tuned for information relative to my next disc "The Gauntlet", coming later this year. Thanks very much!!

Cheers!

My boyfriend and I came from Indpls to see you in Chicago a couple of weekends ago. I confess I came to see you because of your father and Garnet. I found that you are a wonderful performer and songwriter independently of your famous family. Your family has given me so much pleasure over the years. I am looking forward to your next CD. I second the wish for 'Mountains Moving Aside' for the CD. And thank you so much for performing Garnet's Homemade Beer, I had only heard of it in legend, I did not think it really existed.

Denise

Nathan,

Great show in Iqaluit tonight. It was tear-, joy-, laugh-, awe- and every other type of inspiring you can think of. Looking forward to Canada Day!

On another note, any plans to play in Newfoundland any time soon?

Finally, are their plans to put the "Mountains Moving Aside" song on the next album?

Cheers, Denise

I didn't see it on your calendar.

My wife and I really enjoyed your Folkstage show, and want to encourage you to take care of your voice so it'll be with you for the long haul. You look a lot like your dad.

Dear Nathan,

As I watched you at Bill's Blues Bar on Sunday evening with your earrings, I thought of our Saturday dinner and your talking about your daughter and your imminent return to be with her again. I recalled the grabby fingers of my children before and after that age and how their mother ended up not wearing any jewelry while they were around. I hope your daughter has moved beyond the "grabby" stage. Then all you need be concerned about is the mountain goat stage, climbing up tables, chairs, and bookcases, and--a few years older--spreading out arms and legs and moving up the sides of a doorway. We enjoyed the concerts and look forward to your return to Chicago.

Best,

David

March 23, 2008

Hey Nathan,

I was flippin through the diales on my truck radio last night, looking for something worth a damn to listen to, and I stumbled upon on of your shows. I grew up on old-time country and bluegrass music, and I have always loved folk music as well. I have a bluegrass band with a couple of my highschool friends, and I love to hear new stuff. Anyway, I wanted to tell you that your music is fantastic, I have never listened to "Northwest Passage" before, and honestly made my eyes mist. Good work partner, and keep it up, you've got one more fan here.

Natalie Rennie

March 22, 2008

To Nathan or whomever is scvreening this: Just wondering if I could enlist the help of Nathan and Stan Rodgers fans to track down a dear old friend of mine? Wouldn't it be cool for a fan to find a lost loved one through your website? His name is Dan Cory and he was originally from Manitou Beach, Saskatchewan. He had a cabin there but I hear it burnt down and he moved away. Thought I might've seen him at Bufalo Lake (Alberta) a few years ago? I think about him all the time and often wonder whats's become of him. He was a bit of a travelling hippie kinda guy (be in his 50's now) - loved folk music and hung with a group called the Tractor Trolls many years ago. Anyone knowing his where abouts please contact me at:
natworks@telusplanet.net or if Dan sees this, call NATALIE at 403-809-1579. I'm in Alberta and I
miss you Danieleson! I'm going to see Nathan in Calgary on May 10th.

If you can't post this, well, it was worth a shot. If you do, Nathan I will be in debited to you and will tell people about your BIG HEART. Thanks in advance........

Sincerely,

Natalie in Airdrie.

Nathan,

I posted the review below on the Springsteen discussion board I frequent..THANK YOU

Folk home concert series, a private show for 50. Nathan Rogers is the son of the deceased legendary Canadian folk singer Stan Rogers. Nathan Rogers sounds much like his old man. Nathan Rogers is his own man, his song writing and singing talent just grabs you by the throat. Comfortable in various musical idioms (folk, blues, historical, seething political commentary, parody), he is akin to a five tool ball player, he can do it all. FUNNY. INCREDIBLY SHARP, bursting with intelligence, humor, edge, piss and vinegar. And that magical stage presence and ability to relate to a crowd, even if a bunch of old farts!

My college crowd had been huge Stan Rogers fans.

My best friend Greg and I lucked into this. I had never heard of 'home concert series'. I was searching for Stan videos on utube, and came across Nathan, and a show at someone's home in Falls Church!!

So I hiked to Charlottesville, then we hiked to Falls Church. Two things became clear. Greg and I were younger, and more casually dressed than most (Greg the only African-American, myself the only Philly Jew from WV). AND, many talked to us with superficially friendly banter, but we were mostly being talked AT, none of the normal QUESTIONS/inquiries ("what do you do for a living?" "where are you from?" "what is the average cruising airspeed velocity of an unladen European Swallow?" NADA)

Which did not matter. Cuz we spent most of the time talking to and with Nathan. From politics, to Canada, to Rick Wakemen/Yes concert stories, jokes and great old movies (including those we saw in school to try to scare you away from drinking and driving with the burnt bodies and car wrecks, to health classes showing tertiary syphillis, to REEFER MADNESS), it was a PLEASURE to be able to spend time with and swap stories with such an interesting bright young TALENT in such an informal atmosphere.

Who really knows, but it seemed like Nathan found kindred spirits in us also. More importantly the MUSIC was ALIVE.

Either 28 or 29 (and 4 when his father died), hair shaved with a mohawk, studs in both ears and tongue, goatee and black shades, Nathan Rogers lit the place up. Being with my best friend, talking with this artist, and sitting a foot and a half from him for the second magical set of distinctive great live music, was a stirring evocative life affirming blast.

He has a record! BUY IT!! He contines to tour the U.S. GO SEE HIM if you have a chance. The record is really good, but seeing him LIVE was the real hook/treat.

When you see him, ask him about Rick Wakeman...

His web site, reviews, and access to (what a resonant title) TRUE STORIES, his record.

March 11, 2008

Hey Nathan,

I haven't been by in a while so I decided to stop in and see what was up. I can't believe Downer's Grove made your list of shows! AND I found out about it BEFORE it happened! I look forward to seeing you there.

Nathan

March 10, 2008

Hey everyone!

I'm way out in Long Island New York, in a place called Stony Brook. Really lovely countryside and a wonderful little town. I don't have a lot of time to write back to all of you but I will catch up when I get home. Thanks for all your support, I cannot explain how much it means to me. Cheers! and Thanks!

Nathan

Just returned from the concert at USB University Cafe and immediately put on Stan's music to reaffirm what we all believe - that when nature and nurture are put to the test they both exceed expectation.
Thank you, Nathan, for a wonderful afternoon of reminiscing with old tunes and being introduced to new ones.

charles

March 8, 2008

I was introduced to your father's music a few decades back and was always moved each time I put on an LP. yes, LP. I'll be listening and watching as your star rises. for now, I am most impressed by your voice and guitar. keep on keeping on. p.s. you can tell from my address that I too am a musician...all the best Charles

Hi Nathan - I've been meaning to write for months now, ever since receiving True Stories. Wow, I knew I would love it, I just didn't know how much. "Mary's Child" brings me to tears every time I play it. "Three Fishers" is such a fine tribute to your Dad. I can't wait for more!
I sing with the Aurora Celebration Choir, a community choir here in Vancouver. Our winter concert is this Saturday and our final song is "Watching the Apples Grow". I have volunteered to introduce the song and will dedicate it to Stan's memory. Man, he must be proud of you!
Hope to see you out here sometime soon.
Sandi

Hey Nathan ...

I played for your Dad and Garnet -- between David Allan Edie and Jim Morrison: 25 very intense gigs over a span of months – and lived in your Dundas basement between tours east and west.

I had every intention of coming to see you in Kingston tonight, at Sweet Folk All, but I’m felled by a rotator cuff injury which is cutting into my sleep and making my waking moments generally miserable.

I won’t miss you next time.

Please pass on my best to your Mom, David, Beth and Kate. You were – when last I saw you – the apple of your Dad’s eye.

On our one and only babysitting episode, I took you for ice cream and you fell on your face walking home (sugar high).

There wasn’t a lot of blood, but I think it was enough to convince your Mom that bass players were not necessarily preferred babysitters.

Your U-Tube samples really capture the sound of the old man’s pipes. Long may you run!

Hey Nathan! Tour coming up - yay! How's the little one? Must be tough to leave on tour... we just had our first, and I can't think of leaving yet.

New album - really hope the "Mountains' song is on it. Also the sequel to Mary's Child.

We'll spread the word, hope to egt a bunch of folks out to your Halifax show, and some of the Ontario ones...

Cheers,
Scott

So enjoyed your Acoustic show last night @ the Weber's in Orillia,On. The Mongolian throat chants were very interesting and had the crowd mismerized. Thank-You so much for sharing yourself and your Family's music with the world. It means so much to so many. Please drive safe on the roadways of Ontario.(snow and slush means slow down lol) Best Wishes to You and Yours, May your future be bright, hold close what you cherish, and most of all ,keep the new songs coming!! Hope to see you at Mariposa this summer. Peace , Don LeBanc

We loved your dad's music so much and were so delighted to find that you are as gifted and talented as he was. Unfortunately, we never had the opportunity to watch a live performance of your dad's and we are so thankful that we may be able to live this dream through you.
We love the fact that you honor your father by performing some of his great works, and are also delighted with your own creations and the new flavor you give to your dad's songs.

We will continue to follow your progress and wish you all success and happiness. God Bless You!

February 12, 2008

Hey Nathan! It's the gal from Airdrie who told you that your voice makes her cry. I was so thrilled to actually be meeting you that that was the only intelligent thing I could think of saying say! Your voice and your music unleash a flood of emotions from the very fibre of my being. I was not expecting to hear "Field Behind the Plow" which is a song my buddy Dan and I used to sing every weekend when we got together(we were both BIG Stan fans). Never could make it through that song without tears. It also made me miss my dear friend, too. And what an honor and a priveledge it was to sing "Northwest Passage" with the son of Stan Rogers! Thank you for one of the best experiences I've had in life, Nathan. Can't wait to see you when you're back in Calgary this spring. I will finally get to hear Jim's band (the Buccaneers), too. Met him about six years ago, but never did make it out to hear them play. God bless and protect you in your journey through life.

loved Saturday night in Bragg Creek..Let's hear it for Hooters !
BTW, love the CD.....look forward to more...how about something Live?

Greg

February 10, 2008

Hi Nathan. I caught your concert in Portage la Prairie MB last month and I can truthfully say I have never been more impressed with a concert and your ability to carry on a legacy in the Rogers family tradition. I was prepared to hear a young man playing his father's songs, and riding on his father's coattails, but was pleasantly surprised to find that this was not so. You have the talent and drive to do it all on your own, which I'm sure you will accomplish. I have always been a fan of your father's, and will equally follow you in your career.
Best of luck.....Your father is looking down on his greatest source of pride......Greg

Nathan:
I was wonderful thing to meet you and hear your music on Feb 8 in Canmore. Allowing us to sing along with you was great. I look forward to seeing you again in May when you arrive in Calgary. You shook my hand and patted me on the back and said,"have a safe trip back to Red Deer" On that 3 hour drive home I pledged to sit with my guitar and start writing music again. Your performance and good nature inspired me. Keep up the good work and look forward to the next "kitchen party".

Best Regards,
John

Hey Nate,
what a great concert tonight in Bragg Creek. Thanks for the show - we really enjoyed it!
I was glad to see you again and to hear you are doing so well.
How funny after all these years to meet up again in puny little Bragg Creek!
Congratulations on being a new Dad-you thought being an entertainer was wild - get ready for parenthood!!
Cheers for now - and all the best
