Garnet Rogers to Perform at White Gull Inn

FISH CREEK, (Jan. 19, 2012) – Singer-songwriter Garnet Rogers will be featured in concert Wednesday, February 22, at the White Gull Inn in Fish Creek. Tickets for the 8 PM concert, the fourth in a series of six scheduled at the inn this winter, are $16.00.

Rogers, who last performed at the White Gull in 2009, has a large and loyal North American fan base. For nearly a decade he toured with his older brother, the late folk legend Stan Rogers. Before his tragic death, Stan said of his brother that “no other person can claim to be so much an influence on my music, or so indispensable to what I do as Garnet.” Most recently, Rogers has been performing with Greg Brown to sold-out venues.

Hailed by the Boston Globe as a "charismatic performer and singer", Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence - close to six and a half feet tall - with a voice to match. With his smooth, dark baritone, his incredible range, and thoughtful, dramatic phrasing, Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere. His music, like the man himself, is literate, passionate, highly sensitive, and deeply purposeful. An optimist at heart, Garnet sings extraordinary songs about people who are not obvious heroes and of the small victories of the everyday. As memorable as his songs, his over-the-top humor and lightning-quick wit move his audience from tears to laughter and back again.

Audience members are encouraged by Rogers to bring non-perishable foods or items of personal care to the concert as donations to Feed My People.

An optional pre-concert fixed price dinner will be served at 6 PM: the entrée is Carnitas pork fajitas, Mexican rice, blackened vegetables, and Tres Leches cake for dessert.

The final two concerts of the season are the Steel Wheels, on March 28, and Special Consensus on April 11. Tickets, reservations for the optional pre-concert dinner and information on all concerts in the series can be obtained by calling the inn at 920-868-3517.
