Garnet Rogers has established himself as 'One of the major talents of our time." Hailed by the Boston Globe as a "charismatic performer and singer," Rogers is a man with a powerful physical presence -- close to six and a half feet tall -- with a voice to match. He sings with a "smooth, dark baritone" (Washington Post) and an incredible range with thoughtful, dramatic phrasing. His music, like the man himself, is literate, passionate, highly sensitive, and deeply purposeful. Cinematic in detail, his songs "give expression to the unspoken vocabulary of the heart." (Kitchener Waterloo Record) An optimist at heart, Rogers 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 humour and lightning-quick wit moves his audience from tears to laughter and back again.

Garnet has requested that audience members bring donations of non-perishable food and useful personal care items such as shampoo or toothpaste which will be donated to a local food bank or shelter.
