"Rogers is both a sensational and a sensitive blues guitarist - certainly among the finest slide guitarists playing today. His wailing slide guitar sound (and churning rhythms, when needed) mark him and his work as of the highest caliber."
- San Francisco Chronicle

Roy Rogers is one of the premier slide guitarists performing today.  He is also an internationally acclaimed producer for John Lee Hooker (winning two Grammy Awards and four nominations) and Ramblin' Jack Elliott. (two Grammy nominations). 
He has received numerous awards and accolades from around the world.  Additional Grammy nominations have been given for his songwriting as well as for his work on movie soundtracks and television.  His latest release, Split Decision, is his first studio recording with his band, The Delta Rhythm Kings, in seven years.
Born in Redding, California in 1950, he began playing guitar at twelve years of age and a  year later was performing in a rock 'n' roll band that wore gold lame jackets and played Little Richard and Chuck Berry tunes. He discovered the great blues players early on, especially when his older brother brought home
an album by Robert Johnson. They had an immediate effect on Roy, who was indeed named after the King of the Cowboys. Through the years he developed a distinctive style of playing slide guitar that is instantly recognizable.
