Garnet Rogers has established himself as \u2018One of the major talents of our time\u201d. Hailed by the Boston Globe as a \u201ccharismatic performer and singer\u201d, Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence \u2013 close to six and a half feet tall \u2013 with a voice to match. With his \u201csmooth, dark baritone\u201d (Washington Post) his incredible range, and thoughtful, dramatic phrasing, Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere. His music, like the man himself, is literate, passionate, highly sensitive, and deeply purposeful. Cinematic in detail, his songs \u201cgive expression to the unspoken vocabulary of the heart\u201d (Kitchener Waterloo Record). An optimist at heart, Garnet 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.<\/p>\n
Garnet: It\u2019s an enormous privilege for me to be able to stand up and sing my own songs, but I would like to be able to have something left behind after the dust is cleared away where people are actually benefiting from the concert at some level.<\/p>\n
