Terry Jones Rogers and Scott Nienhaus began their long association in 1993 after both relocated to Nashville,TN at the urging of their mutual friend Michael 'Supe' Granda of The Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Nienhaus and Granda had become friends in their home state of Missouri, when Scott's group 'Acousticity' toured with 'The Daredevils' as their opening act, soon leading to 'Acousticity' working with Nicolette Larson as her band.

Rogers and Granda became friends when they worked together in the classic group "" with original drummer Michael Clarke. Terry, a Macon,GA native, was invited to join the newly reformed group by Clarke in 1988 after becoming friends in Hilton Head,SC, and was fronting the band when Supe came on board. Soon after Granda's inspired introduction that November, Rogers invited Nienhaus to join his newly formed group 'THE BYRDS CELEBRATION' after Michael Clarke's untimely death in December of 1993. In early 1994, Rogers & Nienhaus began working with 'THE BYRDS CELEBRATION' along with Byrds' alumni and , as they embarked on their first tour of Europe, including Germany, Switzerland, France and The Netherlands.

In 1995, ROGERS & NIENHAUS released 'The Rogers/Nienhaus Band with Skip Battin' "Empty Room", recorded at Music Masters Studio in St. Louis,MO, leading to many European tours as an acoustic duo in support of this project. Now living in the Greater St. Louis Metro area, ROGERS & NIENHAUS have become local favorites, with their fiery performance and pristine harmonies, as well as touring nationally and internationally.
