The Legendary Downchild Blues Band are happy to announce that up and coming Ottawa soul/blues singer/songwriter, Jeff Rogers will open the Ontario shows on their FARWELL TOUR.
Jeffs’ unmistakably soulful voice often evokes weighty comparisons to the past – whether that’s Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles or even Otis Redding…. yet, his tone, range, phrasing, and sincerity, all make him unmistakably contemporary – and totally original.
His new album Dream Job was nominated for a 2024 Blues Blast Music Award for “Soul/Blues Album of The Year”. The album was recorded in the revered music mecca of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where he was accompanied by some legendary musicians, including Kelvin Holly (Little Richard, Bobby Bland etc.), Clayton Ivey (The Staple Sisters, Thelma Houston), Justin Holder (Keb Mo’, Delbert McClinton) and Shonna Tucker (Booker T. Jones, Drive-By-Truckers). Dream Job features special guest appearances by Grammy Award winner, Colin Linden, Juno Award winning singer, Kellylee Evans and is co-produced by Dick Cooper of The Cooper Brothers.
