Description
The 'Hard Headed Woman' is back with her sophomore release, 'Among the Insanity,'
Rogers bares her soul and sings from the depths of her heart, bringing an intense yet sensitive energy to every song.
Blues Blast Music Award nominee Skylar Rogers has been compared to icons of the music industry such as Tina Turner and Etta James, after the release of her debut album ('Firebreather', 2021). Drawing from a rich vein of personal history, and like many of her musical heroes, Rogers has endured the kinds of pain and suffering that have made her the artist she is today. Raised in the church and by a mother who also sang, yet told she couldn't sing because she wasn't the right fit, Rogers' life took many unexpected twists and turns before she settled once again into the world that brought her so much joy.
A personal journey through divorce, a life in the military, the death of a child, truck driving and homelessness, were lessons and experiences that can never be forgotten, and provide the fuel for her very personal songwriting. After a near fatal bout of pneumonia and being diagnosed with several autoimmune diseases, she decided to live life on her own terms. She was determined not to be bound by others' expectations and this rebellious spirit is evident in all the music she makes. Moving to Memphis and immersing herself in the rich tapestry of Beale Street, Skylar drank from the intoxicating waters around her and began her long march to musical salvation.
One of the highlights of her emerging career has been sharing a stage with Kevin Burt, Anne Harris, Ben Rice, Paul DesLauriers, Annika Chambers-DesLariers, and Terrie Odabi at the All-Star Showcase at the Big Blues Bender in Las Vegas. With a voice that grips the soul and fills it with the energy and passion that only rocking blues can provide, Rogers' work embodies all the sassiness of a woman determined to make the most of every opportunity.
