Stan Rogers

Stan Rogers came from Hamilton, Ontario, a six-foot-four poet who started out as a rock bassist before turning to folk music. With his rich voice, he used his music to call to life all of the wonder and mysticism of his native Canada. His singing was occasionally mistaken for that of Gordon Lightfoot, but it was huskier and earthier than Lightfoot's, and his repertoire -- made up of song cycles drawn from throughout Canada -- was also more tradition-oriented and more mystical. Rogers died in a fire aboard an Air Canada flight in Cincinnati, Ohio in June 1983, leaving behind a half-dozen albums. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

I want to sit on Hallifax pier with a cardboard sign that says "I was told wrong"

Stan Rogers IS Canada for me. He wrote so many iconic songs about the Maritimes, he was only the third person I've heard put what the experience of being at sea is like into song. The Jeannie C is a special favorite of mine, and he did the best version of the old forebitter Old Maui I've ever heard. You're greatly missed , Stanley !
He has an amazing voice.
He was a brilliant musician. Classic!
krob.stacy
He never died! He just found a distant campfire to sing around.

Following Stan's death, singer songwriter Eric bogle wrote a tribute song to him. Eric described Stan as a man who's heart was always at sea dreaming of ventures in what he described as Canada's great frontier. The song Bogle wrote is called "safe in the harbor" And just as that song says Stan Rogers is safe in the harbor at last.
That's really depressing.
I had the great pleasure of seeing Stan and his band several times at The Folkway in Peterborough , NH. Of all the folk artists we went to see there, Stan is the only one who has stayed in my listening playlist. He was an enormous presence in life, and in music.

Before I heard Stan Rogers I listened to Gordon Bok from Camden, Maine (Timberhead Recording) www.gordonbo k . c o m Both great singers of the Maritime experience.

HIs lyrics tell the stories of working men, explore history, and define what it means to be human in this world. Timeless themes to be sure.
i still miss his presence in this world
rodso64
I dedicated a line in one of my own songs to this guy. If I had a time machine... this guy would've missed his plane.

There is no doubt that Stan Rogers was a brilliant songwriter and amazing singer. I never met Stan, but his brother, Garnet, is a good friend. If like Stan, please listen to Garnet's work, too. Garnet's writing has a sensitivity that's rare and almost magical, and his voice will turn you inside out. The man has more talent than any other...
To all of Stan's family I love Stan like a brother because of what a great man he was both in life because of the beautiful music that came from the heart. His ability and god given talent that he had to tell a story, a gift to the world that will last forever, one only has to open their ears and listen to his wonderful music he left for all to hear. Years ago when I was much younger I heard a song on the radio called White Squall, it moved me so much I named my charter boat after it.

I remember when I first heard of Stan Rogers' death in the plane fire. He had made it out of the plane, but when he realized others were still trapped, went back to save them, but was overcome by smoke and never got out. The tragedy was especially cruel since he was building a solid and loyal following in the states, and was getting wide recognition as the talented and gifted folk singer. His songs are as refreshing and poignant today as they were 31 years ago.
The bio could have mentioned that while the plane was burning, he tried to rescue fellow passengers.

Stan Rogers created the perfect blend of beautiful vocal harmony, moving lyrics, and beautiful acoustic guitar lines. His sound is genuine and honest not only for the first time it is heard, but every time. Songs ranging from jolly and lively, like Watching the Apples Grow, to slow and true and breathtaking l y stunning like Northwest Passage. Thank you, sir, for reminding everyone that no matter how terrible life seems, all one has to do is Take it From Day to Day and Rise Again. Thanks Pandora.
The first time we saw Stan Rogers was at the Kerrville Folk Festival. He moved my wife and I as no other artist did that night or few since. It was one of those moments you never forget. Little did we know that he would perish the following day in the air plane fire. If we only had a time machine and could change history. That would be one of the first. We loved his music then and now.
foodiesweare
Went to school with Stan's son. He actually lived in Dundas, Ontario. Not Hamilton. His wife used to come into our school and play the autoharp.
dmguay
We first saw Stan Rogers along with brother Garnet and David Alan Eadie at Change of Pace in London, Ontario. We were hooked and saw him many times after that including performances at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. More than twenty five years after his death, his albums are still our favorites.
riva.flexer
Met him, saw him perform numerous times, miss his insight into what makes Canada. A singer-songw r i t e r of the twentieth century, he has ehelped to define Canada musically.
I, too,wish I had known Stan long ago. As one gets older, fewer people can carry the burden and title of being 'a good friend.'
libtom
He'd been gone for 10 years before I heard his music. That being said, his wife was absolutely correct when she said that once you hear his music, it gets into your soul. It sounds corny, but Stan's songs mean a great deal to me. I feel like I did know him a bit.
I grew up with his music back in Newfoundland . Very fond family memories!
brynjie
I saw him at McCabe's in Santa Monica the weekend before he died. His death hit me like that of an old friend. I'm glad that my kids play and sing his music.
lilguy1
There is no way anyone could confuse this artist with Gordon Lightfoot: the two sound very different. However, he does sound similar to the bass from the Chad Mitchell Trio, Mike Kobluk.
I can't believe Stan has been gone 30 years. I first heard him just before he died in '83. Wish I could have seen him live.
If you like this, you'll lov his brother Garnet
His voice is so evocative of the majesty and timelessness and treachery of the seas. He transports me.
usgrant8
Stan is one of Canada's national treasuers. His music is timeless as is the richness of his voice.
gghost57
Thank you Pandora for bringing back the incredible welling spirit of Stan Rogers voice to me.
nhg5
Stan, I still miss you all these years later. Your music creates a deep pain in my heart.
Count me among the number introduced to the amazing Stan Rogers through Pandora. So great!
I really like this guy's work! Glad that his recordings are still available. I had never heard of him before Pandora introduced me to him today.
One of the unsung and under-apprec i a t e d folk legends with a heart
as big as Canada.
shopdog3g2
Stan is a giant and Canada's only true folk musician. There should be a bronze of him in Ottawa as the voice of the Canadian people. But unlike we Americans most Canucks never recognize the greatness in there midst.
wow - what amazing harmonies. thank you pandora!
slapshot1894
I know him only because of Pandora. A mesmerizing and truly powerful voice. Gone too soon.
im glad so many people are still open to older traditional music styles
Stan died saving people's lives going in again and again into the flaming Air Canada crash - I forgot the date. It broke my heart.
for one more time let us make the Northwest Passage...
I regret I've seen so many performers fade into the sunset. Such as:Stan Rogers,Gambl e Rogers,Richa r d Farina,Phil Ochs,Buddy Holly,Sandy Bull,John Fahey,and more than I can recall at 64.
When the Beatles sang about it,it didn't seem imaginable. I enjoy being 64 but I never realized so many would never see it.
They shared so much of their soul.
God bless them all.
You had to see Stan perform to appreciate the depth and timber of his voice and the impact of "rise again" on an crowd
There's no better sound than just Stan and his guitar. His music started my interest in similar artists (Gordon Bok, his brother Garnet etc.)
kmay63
Nice sound. Shamefull that he passed, but he left great music.
Regret I never heard him when he was alive. He is one of my favorites that I havee found on Pandora.
WOW!!!!!! Love your music
alexande.don
I had the great honor and privilege of seeing Stan at his last live performance, Kerrville Folk Festival, Texas. A memorial tree was planted there and I've shared a beer with the tree now for 25 years. Salud! Stan's was the best performance I've witnessed there. I miss him.
vegaspipistr e l l e
He died before I could hear him in concert. He's one of my favorites of all time. I like Gordon Lightfoot, too, and often thought of singing "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and "White squall" as a meddley. Though pssssst! I think "White squall" is a better song! And "Northwest Passage" is my favorite.
I love Stan, but I'm a real groupie of Garnet. I've seen him in concert dozens of times in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa in small venues.
