OTTAWA JAZZ FESTIVAL PRESENTS
Jeff Rogers & Friends
“Look for Dream Job and Jeff Rogers to make a mark.” – Billboard Canada
“Dream Job is emotional honesty and a measured assurance…intelligent self-composed songs on troubled pleasurable romance….” – DOWNBEAT
Ottawa, singer/songwriter Jeff Rogers’ unmistakably soulful voice often evokes weighty comparisons to the past – whether that’s Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles or even Otis Redding…. yet his tone, range, phrasing, and sincerity all make him unmistakably contemporary – and totally original.
For this special performance, Jeff will be showcasing songs from his acclaimed new album Dream Job, as well as fan favourites, with his 10-piece band, alongside some SURPRISE guests, for a show you don’t want to miss!
Dream Job was recorded in the revered music mecca of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where he was accompanied by some legendary musicians including Kelvin Holly (Little Richard, Bobby Bland etc.), Clayton Ivey (The Staple Sisters, Thelma Houston), Justin Holder (Keb Mo’, Delbert McClinton) and Shonna Tucker (Booker T. Jones, Drive-By-Truckers). Dream Job features special guest appearances by Grammy Award winner Colin Linden, Juno Award winning singer Kellylee Evans, and is co-produced by Dick Cooper of The Cooper Brothers.
