Elana Rogers
Transplanting to Denver from her hometown of Dallas, TX in the spring of 2002, Elana brought with her years of expertise as a professional singer/songwriter. As a teenager she taught herself drums and acoustic guitar. Many strums later she released her distinctive Denver debut CD “One of Those Days” in May 2005, which warranted an excellent review in the Westword by Michael Roberts. She was since invited to perform at the 2005 & 2007 CHUN’s Peoples’s Fair, earned 2 special spots on 99.5 The Mountain’s “Homegrown Hour”, and was selected to showcase at 2005’s Durango Songwriter’s EXPO - her 1st year ever to attend! Her 2005-2006 band “Elana Rogers & The Reason” played stellar venues such as the Gothic Theatre, Soiled Dove, Herman’s Hideaway, The Toad Tavern, The Walnut room and more! The successful band competed their way to the TOP 3 in the Toad Tavern’s “Get a Leg Up” battle of the bands!
In winter of 2006 Elana began recording her long-awaited follow up CD named after one of her compelling new originals, “Someone Like You”. This diverse CD complation will contain 10 original songs spreading over a wide range of musical styles and influences, similar to: Allman Brothers, Queen, OURS, Motown, Steve Miller, Sinead O’Connor and Abra Moore. Stay tuned for more details!
While performing live, she’ll capture you with her smokey wide-range vocals, articulate songwriting style, love & infatuation for singing and playing live, and her unique Americana Rock-style genre. She combines a mixture of tugging originals and her adaptation of covers – making them all her own. To this day Elana continues to explore the art and passion of songwriting.
