From college campuses to bustling North Indian train stations, Roger Jaeger has performed in many places and experienced many things in his 23 years. His songs offer a hodgepodge of rock, funk, and Indian Classical styles, while his lyrics are deeply rooted in life experiences.
Jaeger is in the process of recording songs for an EP, to be released sometime this fall.
He released his first solo project, "Sunrise" in May 2004.
This Tulsa native began writing songs and performing at the pimple-faced age of 13. He shortly thereafter recorded his first album, "Hollow," with a band called Swept, which received some local radio play and saw regional success. The band dispersed shortly after opening for Skillet in 2002. Roger then hit Tulsa's coffeehouse scene, adopting a more acoustic sound. He continued until 2004, when he moved to Nashville to attend Belmont University as a music major. In 2005 he moved to Pune, India, where he studied sitar and Indian classical music.
He has recently opened for indie songwriter Andy Zipf, and world musicians Aradhna.
"Roger has an amazing sensitivity in his songwriting which is equally complimented by his outstanding live performances. He has a deep brooding way with words and uses a fascinating array of broken chords and guitar tunings to lay the foundation for his hauntingly-beautiful melodies. Watch this guy, he's making all the right noises!"

::DREAM::
Matt Morton's new album DREAM is a motley crew so to speak of different styles of sonic influence. Each of the seven tracks' music and lyrics were written by the artist and their topics range from exuberant joy in "The Love Dance," to deepest sorrow and heartfelt anguish with a reminder of hope in "All My Heart." Love and philosophy also get their time in the spotlight as well as a song that soothes spirits from the wariness of the days behind us.
At the helm of the cd was producer Antjuan Robinson, a former bass tech for the late, great, Wayman Tisdale. It is his virtuoso bass playing and wonderful ability see things that were not and make them come to life that helped this become the masterpiece of sonic stimulation that it is.
Also assisting Matthew are the amazing vocalists, Taylor Clenney, Roger Jaeger, and Derick Snow. Each of these men have fought through the haze of their respective scenes with perseverance and determination and emerged incredibly talented and admonished. Their vocal prints are beautiful paintings and are sure to become fan favorites in no time at all.
