Kendall Rogers

Kendall Rogers has been playing traditional dance tunes since he started picking them out on the piano at about age 4 or 5.  Living in South Louisiana, but steeped in the rich Appalachian folk heritage of his native Kentucky, alongside the Celtic, American, Canadian, British, Danish and other folk music and dance traditions, Kendall’s playing has also been shaped by classical and jazz training … plus a healthy disregard for the rules.  Now he uses all of these influences, playing piano, accordion or guitar at dance events, music festivals, regular sessions and other jams — and one NBA halftime show!  So long as there’s life and movement in the music, then “laissez les bon temps rouler!”
