Johnny Rodgers takes you on a guided tour of American Pop with his original soft rock ballads, Taylor-flavored folk melodies, and sultry jazz arrangements. His compelling lyrics and on-stage charm completes the performance package ensuring the audience a pleasurable ride. Praised by Rex Reed as “a finger popping pianist and a terrific singer with range and style,” Rodgers has won the MAC Award, Bistro Award and Billboard Magazine’s 2008 World Song Contest for Home to Mendocino. Johnny's debut CD Box of Photographs earned him instant acclaim from critics and radio stations across the country. All Music.com said, "if this collection is any indication of what's to come, Rodgers will be across the board superstar."
Liza Minnelli discovered Johnny several years ago, bringing him on as a pianist and guest performer on her world tours and Broadway run. Rodgers recently released two new EPs. BOUND TOGETHER features indie pop songs and features the Christmas single Lord, Let The Angels Sing, with guest artist Ben Taylor. The second EP features a big band swing duet with Liza, “Let’s Make A Date.” The new releases from Johnny Rodgers and Johnny Rodgers Band are available at iTunes, Amazon.com, CDFreedom, and at www.JohnnyRodgers.com
