Band History:
Born in Munich (Germany) Rodger has been growing up in a musical family, and it is music that determins his life ever since. As a child he learned to play piano, and as a teenager he started with playing guitar and songwriting, Such great bands and artists of the 60´s and 70´s like The Beatles, Beach Boys, Joni Mitchell, Jimmy Hendrix, and Eric Clapton, just to name a few, had a big influence on his life and music. Rodger plays accoustic and electric guitar, and his voice, which is warm and mellow but also rough at times, is a major element in his music, that reflects his musical experience of more than 30 years, and is a mixture of different styles, including Rock, Pop, Blues, Latin, Jazz, and even classical elements.
Combined with his unique voice, Rodger’s music is truly emotional and full of soul.

Rodger and his band are performing mostly at smaller clubs, but also at bigger places, like the Open Air Festival in Hamm (Germany), and the festival in the Dortmund Westfallen Halle in front of several thousand people in 2001.

The wonderful love ballade 'Ania' hit #1 in the german Pop charts, and #26 in the international Pop charts at MP3.com in late 2002.

Currently Rodger is working on his debut CD.
