T. Rogers

About Me

T.Rogers is a 6-piece blues band, consisting of 2 guitars, bass, drums, persussion and sax. Playing predominately electric blues, they have been in this current line-up since 2004, although the band has been playing as T. Rogers since 1999. Despite the average age of the band being 25, each musician has at least 12 years musical experience under their belt. The mixture of familiarity between players that have played together for 12 years, and flare brought on by newer players makes this band tight, engaging and exciting to watch. T. Rogers is based in Budapest Hungary, and in the most part of the year performing mainly in pubs and clubs around the city. 2006 brought the release of their first CD, 'Driven By The Blues', which assisted them touring blues festivals and clubs around Europe. In 2007 the band recorded their new album: Wear Your Soul. Out of the band members you can hear Miki Toth palying the harmonica - who left the band at the end of the last year - and Krisztian Magi on hammond. T. Rogers is preparing to introduce Wear Your Soul, live across Europe.

Sounds Like: "This 7-piece Hungarian blues band with a British sax player has no problems covering anything and everything from Robert Johnson to Robben Ford and doing it all in their inimitably cheerful jazzy style"
"not every harp player would dare to cover both Charlie Musselwhite and Sonny Boy Williamson I on the same album."
"For some reason, I can't help thinking 'Memphis blues' in connection with this CD, even though it's by no means an accurate description - there's traces of Texas, Chicago and many other places in the music; yes, and of course Budapest, too."
-by Andres Roots -

"- Has a folk energy to it, and could actually crossover into Jam Band genre, ala North Mississippi Allstars."
-by Greg Nagy-

" strong band, quite tight and well rehearsed and with a very positive, fun attitude. I like your dynamics and energy. There's a lot to be proud of here."
- by Bruce Iglauer /Alligator records/ -
