    • Garnet Rogers

    Garnet Rogers

    The Ark 316 S. Main, Ann Arbor, MI, United States

    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. Since then, Garnet Rogers has established himself as ‘One of the major talents of our time”. Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence with a voice to match. His music is literate, passionate, highly sensitive, and deeply purposeful.
