color:#332F28">Mr. Fisher was born in Glasgow to a large musical
family and was
strongly influenced by his father’s appreciation of many musical
styles (opera,
vaudeville, traditional ballads) as well as the lyricism of his
mother’s native
fluency in Gaelic. He was strongly influenced in the 1950’s by
“skiffle” performers
such as Lonnie Donegan and Johnny Duncan. During the TV folk
boom of the 1960s
and 70s he appeared regularly with his younger sister Ray in a
variety of
programs including the BBC’s <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“Hootenanny”
series, before turning his focus to the traditional music of his
homeland.</span></p>

style="font-family:Times;
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New

albums with the
Irish duo Makem and Clancy, performing regularly with them and
other groups as
a backup singer and guitarist. </span><span
style="font-family:Times;
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New

color:black">During the 1980s he turned his attention to
freelance radio work, creating
several series of documentary programs with his local station,
Radio Tweed. He
also began a partnership with Canadian songwriter Garnet Rogers,
touring
throughout North America together. Mr. Rogers produced several
of Mr.
Fisher’s recordings, including the highly acclaimed album
Sunsets I’ve Galloped
Into, released in 1995.</span><span

in 2006 was awarded an
MBE (Member of the British Empire), a prestigious honor
nominated by his peers
and bestowed by Queen Elizabeth. His 2008 CD, Windward Away, is
a collection of
introspective ballads that evoke the wild and rough beauty of
the Scottish
Border country. Mr. Fisher has over a dozen albums to his
credit, both solo and
collaborative.</span></p>

color:black">Garnet Rogers was born in Hamilton, Ontario to
parents of Nova
Scotian descent and spent many hours in front of their old floor
model radio
listening to Grand Ol' Opry broadcasts and harmonizing with his
brother, the
late folk singer and songwriter Stan Rogers.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span
style="font-family:Times;
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New

color:black">Garnet Rogers began playing the ukulele at age 8
but soon gave it
up and taught himself to play flute, fiddle and guitar. Directly
after high
school he began touring with Stan, and the two became one of the
most
influential duo acts in North American folk music. Though his
initial
reputation was as the younger brother of a legendary songwriter,
Garnet Rogers
has enjoyed a substantial singing and songwriting career of his
own. The two had
produced only a few albums together before Stan died in a tragic
plane accident
in 1983. Garnet Rogers’ first solo album appeared in 1984 and
was followed by
successive albums every two years into the 1990s. He now has
over a dozen
CDs to his credit, both solo and collaborative. </span></p>

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New

color:black">In concert, the six-foot-six Mr. Rogers holds a
commanding
presence on stage, supported by his rich baritone voice and wide
range. He
usually sits beside a guitar rack featuring three vintage Gibson
acoustic
guitars, a National guitar, a Fender Stratocaster, and sometimes
a Hammertone
Octave 12, a half-scale electric 12-string guitar. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span
style="font-family:Times;
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New

color:black">His music is literate, passionate and deeply
purposeful, and his
songs “give expression to the unspoken vocabulary of the heart”
(Kitchener
Waterloo Record). A self-declared optimist, Garnet Rogers writes
and sings
about the understated heroes and small victories in everyday
life. As memorable
as his songs are his over-the-top humor and incisive wit, offer
audiences tears
and laughter in equal measure.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:9.0pt;background:white"><span
style="font-family:Times;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New

Rogers has been the featured performer on numerous television
and radio programs,
including Mountain Stage and All Things Considered. He has
headlined such
festivals as Wolf Trap, Lincoln Center, and Art Park, and has
shared the stage
with performers from Mary Chapin Carpenter to Guy Clark. The
Boston Globe praises
Garnet Rogers as a “charismatic performer and singer,” while
Sing Out magazine describes
him as “the greatest interpreter and vocalist performing in the
contemporary
folk scene.”</span></p>
