    ABOUT RON ROGERS and the WAILING WIND From deep in the heart of Texas, by way of Los Angeles and now Portland, Oregon, singer/songwriter/guitarist Ron Rogers has amassed a gritty songbook of timeless original stories about restless highways, shady characters, broken hearts and shattered dreams – all in a mix that defies easy categorization. Call it American roots, call it rock, call it alt-country or swampy-country-blues, but whatever you call it Rogers is an honest and refreshing new voice in the vibrant Portland music scene. Rogers was raised in Ft. Worth, Texas, and was musically schooled in the road houses of the Lone Star State. He was based out of Austin for many years before heading to Los Angeles, where he was a staff songwriter at Island Records for two years and worked for Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss at A&M Studios for another nine before relocating to Portland in 2004. In 2007 he co-wrote a song entitled “40 Acres and a Fool” with friend Joe New and bluegrass legend Del McCoury which McCoury then released on his “Moneyland” CD in 2008. He is also a mixed media artist whose Shrines to Dead Musicians hang in galleries across the USA and in 2007 and 2008 was commissioned to produce the covers for the Oregonian A&E Waterfront Blues Festival guides. For his new band, the Wailing Wind, Rogers has corralled some of Portland’s most seasoned musicians – Dave Grafe on pedal steel guitar, Don Campbell on bass and vocals, and drummer Chris Bond securing the beat. Each is a musical journeyman in his own right whose style fits seamlessly with Rogers’ music. The band’s debut recording project, “Country and Eastern,” drops in the spring of 2010.
