Solitary strumming in beautiful Colorado. The title "Rough Hewn Heart" appropriately reflects the mix of songs on this first CD, a heart which has seen a bit too much weathering, cracking over the years, but becoming stronger as it seasoned. This is the result of years of experiences, many miles, and more than enough emotions.
Roger Holzheimer has been playing and writing for many years. In early 2009 he decided to share his heart felt songs with the release of “Rough Hewn Heart”. Songs from the album immediately garnered attention and airplay through the United States on a multitude of stations with a variety of formats. Through a case of internet kismet his music was discovered throughout Europe and the Scandinavian countries, receiving airplay on some of the largest radio stations from Paris to Hamburg to Warsaw. His lyrics recount experiences captured with a novelist’s eye for detail, a painter’s imagination, and a lover’s heart.
Critics have said:
“Roger's clarity in lyric and voice helps the listener tap into their own very real, very reflective feelings of lost loves and fortunately, found loves as well. He has created a CD with feelings full of a raw, honest, labor of love.”
“From the U.S (Colorado), he has been compared to an early Springsteen, a Cat Stevens and even the great, late Johnny Cash. It ain’t half wrong. His lyrics come from a soul that has been there, who remembers were he came from, with kindness and modesty in his heart. It is honest, upright and darn right good!”
From the early days of busking on the streets of New Orleans and San Francisco to his solitary strumming in the beautiful Colorado hills, he has never forgotten his own experiences, his own tales, or his own loves. He brings an incredible passion to his lyrics with his soulful delivery.
Roger is in the process of writing a second album displaying his brand of thoughtful, insightful songs of the human emotions.
