The veteran singer,
songwriter, guitarist, and producer of RnB and soul music known as
Dave Rogers has released his latest official single, “Slow Funk.”
The single has been proudly published as an independent release
without the involvement of the corporate music industry on the INDY
DR record label. Played so deep in the groove that you forget you're
driving beneath the speed limit, “Slow Funk” showcases Dave
Rogers as one of the most intriguing indie soul artists the world
over, and promises that we can expect plenty more in the years to
come.
In addition to the titanic
talents of Dave Rogers, himself, “Slow Funk” also bears the
heroic skills of veteran keyboardist Brian Morgan, a two-time Grammy
winner with the artist, Kashif.
New Jersey's Dave Rogers
cites as main artistic influences Sly Stone, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy
Miles, Marvin Gaye, the Isley Brothers, and Ed Townsend. Dave
Rogers's own sound takes elements from each of these and adds
something fresh and unique for a result unlike anything today's music
fans have heard before. This should not come as a surprise, as Rogers
has himself played and performed with many legends of the sound over
the years. With an emphasis on that soul-funk sound which the '70s
owned and the '80s never learned to reproduce, “Slow Funk” by
Dave Rogers has a little something for every avid funk and soul
listener.
Commenting on his overall
goals for “Slow Funk,” Dave Rogers says, “I've been in the
music business for several years, and I've worked on projects you may
know. As a solo artist using the name Dave Rogers, I hope you take
the time to get to know my new music. Enjoy the variety and tell your
friends that haven't heard me to give a listen.”
Dave Rogers began his
career in music on the top shelf working with Marvin Gaye on songs
that would be included on Gaye's monumental “Let's Get It On”
album. He recorded his first music for Al Bell, owner of Stax
Records. After attending Fisk University and the Berklee College of
Music, Rogers worked for years as a session player and creative
director for Ed Townsend Productions.
Rogers has worked with
Esther Phillips, Shirley Scott, David Johnson (Little Caesar and the
Romans), Charles Brown, Martha Reeves, The Vandellas, the West Coast
Drifters, and others. He has published music under CherryTown-3TR
publishing, Jobete Music, and Peer Southern International.
