From budding\nmusician to awe-inspiring performer, his love of creating meaningful music has\ntaken the reins and garnered much attention from folk artists and enthusiasts\nalike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRogers\u2019 unique voice, thought-provoking lyrics, energetic\nperformances and dynamic fiddle techniques leave this up-and-coming musician in\na class of his own.\u201d (InSpades Magazine)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the release of his new single, this singer-songwriter\nand multi-instrumentalist folk-phenomenon proves he\u2019s at the top of his game in\nevery way imaginable, grasping for the stars that light up his quaint hometown\nof Scotland, Ont.

There\u2019s a different vibe onstage from what comes through in our\nrecordings. There\u2019s a difference in every show as well, you never know what\nyou\u2019re going to get.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yarn\u2019s ability to persevere ought to come as no great surprise,\nespecially for a band that spent two years honing their chops during a Monday\nnight residency at the famed Kenny\u2019s Castaway in New York\u2019s Greenwich Village.\nIn effect, it allowed them to rehearse onstage, mostly in front of audiences\nthat often ranged in size from five to a hundred people on any given night.\nFive studio albums followed \u2013 Yarn (2007), Empty Pockets (2008), Come On In\n(2010), Almost Home (2012), and Shine the Light On (2013). The band then took\nto the road, playing upwards of 170 shows a year and sharing stages with such\nsuperstars as Dwight Yoakam, Charlie Daniels, Marty Stuart, Allison Krauss,\nLeon Russell, Jim Lauderdale and The Lumineers. They performed at any number of\nprestigious venues \u2013 Mountain Stage, Daytrotter, the Orange Peel in Asheville,\nthe Fox Theater in Boulder, the 9:30 Club in D.C, South by Southwest, the\nStrawberry Festival, Rhythm and Roots, Meadowgrass, Floydfest and more,\neventually surpassing 1,000 shows, half a million miles and performances in\nnearly every state. They\u2019ve driven nonstop, made countless radio station\nappearances, driven broken-down RVs and watched as their van caught fire.\nThey\u2019ve paid their dues and then some, looking forward even as they were forced\nto glance behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed, the accolades piled up quickly along the way. They\nhave landed on the Grammy ballot 4 times, garnered nods from the Americana\nMusic Association, placed top five on both Radio and Records and the AMA album\ncharts, garnered airplay on Sirius FM, iTunes, Pandora, CNN, and CMT, and also\naccorded the \u201cDownload of the Day\u201d from Rolling Stone. Shine the Light On found\nshared songwriting credits with John Oates (the Oates of Hall &amp; Oates\nfame), and when audiences expressed their admiration, it brought the band a\npopulist following of diehard devotees, popularly known as \u201cthe Yarmy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As odd as that might seem, it\u2019s proof positive that the\nBrooklyn- and Raleigh-based band \u2013 which is currently comprised of Blake\nChristiana, Rod Hohl, bassist Rick Bugel, and drummer Robert Bonhomme \u2013 have\nmade their mark, and in dealing with their emotions, scars and circumstances,\nthey find themselves in a position to share those experiences with others who\nhave juggled similar sentiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then again, one needn\u2019t take them at their word. When one\nunravels Yarn, it\u2019s best to add one\u2019s own interpretations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The man Jerry Lee Lewis once likened to \u201cthat Cash kid, but\ngood\u201d has enjoyed a long and varied career. Jack Grace is that man: a singer,\nsongwriter, and guitarist who\u2019s been touring and recording for over 25 years.\nHis duet with Norah Jones, \u201cBad Wind Blowing\u201d was a standout tune on his last\nrecording, Everything I Say Is A Lie, produced by Joan Jett and Steve Earle\u2019s\nformer guitarist Eric Ambel. He\u2019s performed with a diverse collection of\nartists, like the aforementioned Lewis as well as Doc Watson, Fishbone, Junior\nBrown, The Meters and has even shared the bill with Merle Haggard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He\u2019s contributed tunes and scoring to several movies,\nincluding both Super Troopers 1 and 2, with the cult hit \u201cBig Bear,\u201d as well as\nthe rollicking \u201cWhat I Drink and Who I Meet at the Track,\u201d heard in Beerfest. A\nseasoned solo performer, his current focus, Jack\u2019s groups have comprised a\nvariety of configurations over the years. With a revolving cast of characters,\nhe leads anything from simple guitar, bass, and drum trios to seven-piece\nensembles complete with piano, steel, trombone, and trumpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doors open at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Benjamin Dakota Rogers to perform Friday On Friday, Oct. 18, 2019, Benjamin Dakota Rogers makes his highly anticipated return to the folk world with his brand new single, Better by Now, stripping the genre down to its core and emotionally charging it with the raw human experience that can only be delivered from the honesty [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":109512,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[16,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-109511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arts-and-entertainment","category-top-story"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/madisoncountycourier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/unnamed-3.jpg?fit=300%2C450&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p43meu-suj","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=109511"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109511\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/109512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=109511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=109511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=109511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
