GA-Grown Country Songwriter, Matt Rogers LIVE at Canopy and the Roots
February 3 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Matt Rogers has a powerful, gritty, and raw voice that lends a unique emotional texture to his music. His approach to songwriting adds a genuine quality to his lyrics that center around life, love, and tradition. His “country-at-heart, blues-in-his-soul” sound is captivating and rare.
A Georgia native, Rogers’ musical interest blossomed during his days in middle school when he got his first guitar. Performing in church and events throughout his school years, his love for songwriting began to grow while at college. Influenced by multiple genres, Matt put together his first band in his early 20’s. Leaving a position in the medical field, Matt made his move to Nashville in 2015 working as a full-time songwriter and touring artist.
Matt is a seasoned songsmith who currently boasts 17 songwriting awards that serve as a testament to his signature hard-hitting lyricism electrified by his husky, rich vocals; his song, “Coal,” has won several songwriting awards from NSAI/CMT, Music City Songstar, American Songwriter, Songwriting University, and Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. He achieved the top award from Music City SongStar for his song, “She Was Everything,” as well as a finalist slot in the USA Songwriting Competition. Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) and CMT selected his song “I Was Raised” for a songwriting achievement award, and it went on to be selected by NSAI as a Top 40 song.
As an artist, Matt’s live show has earned him the opportunity to share the stage with some of country music’s biggest acts, including Chris Stapleton, Jimmie Allen, Walker Hayes, Clint Black, Clay Walker, Jake Owen, Cole Swindell, LOCASH, Brothers Osborne, Chris Janson, and Michael Ray.
Matt has released four new singles in 2023 and has 6 more scheduled to be released during 2024. For more information, visit https://mattrogerscountry.com.
