Always, they look for the lyric, the poetic image, the gag, that reminds us what we share, not what sets us apart.

His music, like the man himself, is literate, passionate, highly sensitive, and deeply purposeful. An opti- mist at heart, Garnet sings extraordinary songs about people who are not obvious heroes and of the small victories of the everyday. As memorable as his songs, his over the top humour and lightning quick wit moves his audience from tears to laughter and back again. “Garnet Rogers is capable of awe- inspiring and unpredictable stuff, and that includes more than just music.” Resolutely independent, Gar- net Rogers has turned down offers from major labels to do his music his own way.
