Jared Rogerson - Heaven (2016)

Much of Jared Rogerson’s songwriting draws from the 17 years he devoted to riding wild bareback bronc’s on the rodeo circuit, along with countless miles atop broke saddle horses traversing the rugged mountains near his home in Pinedale, Wyoming. His respect for both the tame and unruly are underlined in his lyrics which depict modern themes of love, heartbreak, determination, and defiance from the optimistic perspective of an ever changing West. As a self-proclaimed songwriting ambassador for the rural West, his artistic approach stretches across boundaries of Country, Americana, Western, and Folk genres. His three albums, Dirt (2013), Peace, Love & Horses (2011), and Bad Hay (2010) feature all-original material and have received wide acclaim and airplay among various hotspots around the world. Often compared to Chris LeDoux, and sometimes to Bon Jovi, Jared’s unique style features a sonic blend of contemporary authenticity that he sums up as, “Cowboy Music from the New West.”
