The Folk Project – Garnet Rogers with Gordon Thomas Ward
Garnet Rogers has established himself as “One of the major talents of our time.” Hailed by the Boston Globe as a “charismatic performer and singer,” Garnet has a striking physical presence—close to six and a half feet tall—with a voice to match.
According to the Washington Post, his “smooth, dark baritone,” wide vocal range, and dramatic phrasing make him one of the finest singers anywhere. Both fans and critics agree. His music, much like the man himself, is literate, passionate, and emotionally rich.
In addition, his songs are cinematic in detail. They “give expression to the unspoken vocabulary of the heart,” as noted by the Kitchener Waterloo Record. While his lyrics reflect deep sensitivity, Garnet remains an optimist at heart. He sings about unsung heroes and celebrates small, everyday victories.
Just as memorable as his songs is his personality. His over-the-top humor and lightning-quick wit move audiences from tears to laughter—and back again. Clearly, Garnet Rogers with Gordon Thomas will offer a night of emotional depth and entertainment.
Opening the evening will be Gordon Thomas Ward. Deeply influenced by his rural roots, he is a rare artist. His multi-instrumental skills, vivid lyrics, and captivating stories stand out. Moreover, his distinct vocal timbre makes “singer-songwriter” seem too narrow a label.
Unlike many artists, his songs don’t follow typical structures. Instead, he draws on a broad creative range, which makes his performances and albums especially compelling. Over the years, he has wowed audiences with his adult alternative and folk rock sound.
He’s had four GRAMMY-balloted albums in the past six years and shows no signs of slowing down. Together, Garnet Rogers with Gordon Thomas promise an unforgettable musical experience filled with talent, storytelling, and heart.
