Garnet Rogers

Friday, March 6, 2026

Garnet Rogers (https://garnetrogers.com/) is a quietly commanding presence in contemporary folk music, admired for his rich baritone voice, deft guitar work, and songs that unfold like well-told stories. His writing is clear-eyed and compassionate, drawing power from everyday moments and the lives that shape them.

Born in Hamilton, Ontario, and long linked with the legacy of his late brother Stan Rogers, Garnet has forged a remarkable solo career of his own. His concerts blend moving, finely crafted songs with an easy, dry wit and relaxed storytelling, creating the rare feeling that you are not just attending a performance, but sharing an evening with a gifted musician and a genuinely engaging storyteller.
