Roger Flyer is a singer-songwriter and pastor from Minnesota. Since 1984, he and his wife Marnie have sung for more than a million children and adults and recorded two critically acclaimed CD's as the well-known children's duo--The Flyers. www.flyersmusic.com
The Chicago Sun Times says: "...sheer talent...wonderful singers...genuine warmth..." and the Chicago Tribune says: "...ace guitar, snug, smoothe vocals..."
Roger served as a pastor for seven years and left full time ministry in late 2007. With the release of 'songs hidden in eggs', he hopes to connect with people who have found themselves wandering in spiritual exile trying find their way back home in these rumbling times. The songs explore themes of spiritual crossroads, personal responsibility, human destiny and radical trust in God.
The project features collaborations with some of Minnesota's most brilliant musicians and songwriters including Joel Hanson of PFR, Ben Kyle of Romantica, legendary fiddle and mandolin player Peter Ostroushko, accordionist Dan Newton, violinist Jessy Greene of Wilco, multi-instrumentalist whiz Matt Patrick, and newcomers--The Cates.
"Roger Flyer has a sweet and powerful ministry of music. I'm grateful for it..." Parker Palmer

Actually the Liars Club wasn't really named the Liars Club. What can you expect when you walk in the door? And you're supposed to check openmikes. org.
Roger, what can I say but THANK YOU!!! What an honor to meet you and I truly hope that you both had a great time and were able to meet some good people. I don't think you and your daughter could have blended any better than you did. Simply awesome!!! And that grand daughter, she was pulling at my heart strings. I loved seeing her and my daughter playing together. That was very special as well.
Roger, we're totally looking forward to having you and Erin out this Monday night to play!!! Go to www. BetterMusicians. com for details and directions to the gig. This is going to be a lot of FUN!!! Thanks for being a part of it.
keep wanting to write a review for you on your site, but I just can't find words that do justice to Songs Hidden in Eggs. When I do, I will write it......
