Kit Rodgers

Bio:

Kit Rodgers gives emotion a lyrical voice and his approach to music is anything but simple. From his stripped down alternafolk debut cd, "Naked Coffee," poetic lyrics, delivered with conviction and a truely acoustic presentation, to the full out produced follow up release, the lyrics are the focus and he makes certain to move you, regardless of the genre' or style.

Growing up in Shreveport, LA., helped to develop kit's love of regional folk music. A move to Georgia then placed him right in the middle of the diverse Atlanta music scene. It was there that he found his true voice. Touring extensively as lead vocalist for the alternative rock group, "Clouds Of Magellan", and later as part of the Knoxville based Americana trio, "Draper, Reynolds & Rodgers", Kit developed into a seasoned performer, capable of reaching any audience with his engaging voice and stage presence. He soon struck out on his own, only to gain immediate notoriety as a soloist. Since, he has performed in notable listening rooms, festivals and venues all across the Eastern United States and has shared the stage with many fine artists, including John Mayer, Shawn Mullins, Jennifer Nettles (Sugarland) and Kristian Bush (Sugarland).

With "Some Peculiar Potion", his second release, it's clear that he's not finished marking his path with musical milestones. A collective of driving melodies coupled with honest lyrics, it breaks loose. Moving easily from the folk/singer-songwriter genre' of his first release and bursting full force onto the acoustic rock scene, Rodgers' approach to music has never changed...the lyrics still matter, and he continues to move you.

"One of the virtues of Rodgers' writing is it's tautness and brevity. He has a knack for melodies that stick to your ribs, married to deeply considered, deeply felt lyrics".-Metro Pulse, Knoxville, TN
