Rogers making a splash
June will be a coming-out party of sorts for Jason Rogers, as the Bon Aqua man expects a surge in publicity about his career and his recent debut album, titled Jason Rogers.
“It is truly amazing how far I have some in this music world, and I sure don’t intend to do anything but continue,” said Rogers 32.
Released this spring, his self-titled CD contains 12 songs, including “Breathe Into Me,” which in 2007 won the country category in Song of the Year, an international songwriting competition. He wrote seven of the tunes, including “Remembering The Good Ones” and “Thinking About Changing.”
Rogers, who grew up in Maine, also lived in rural Canada and then suburban Chicago before heading for Bon Aqua and the nearby glare of Nashville. He is earning notoriety in Country Weekly Magazine, a Nashville publication, this week. He expects to be featured in Country Music People Magazine, a European publication, in June, and CMDS magazine, which serves Scotland and Ireland.
“When Larry Holden, chief editor of Country Weekly, contacted me I felt like it was my first kiss… haha,” he wrote in an e-mail. “I truly have been blessed and owe it all to God, first, my family second and my friends and my fans.”
Newspapers in Naperville, Ill., — where he lived as a young man — have marked his CD’s release as well.
Simple pleasures, a country prespective on life, his family — he’s a husband and dad — and classic love songs are the simplest explanation of who he is, along with his sense of humor.
“I never looked like Dolly Parton so I had to develop a personality,” he said last week in an e-mail chat.
