Lee Rogers - Invites you to his 'Gameblood'

Album Release

The game of life, will be covered in blood on Lee Rogers new album

Based in Carrickfergus, just north of Belfast. The music created by Lee Rogers sounds as resilient, gorgeous and scarred as his home turf looks. The sensual, resplendent songs contained on ‘Gameblood’, his long awaited second album. Lee Rogers released his debut album back in 2006 called 'Drawing Clock', display an elegiac musical craftsmanship while showing off open hearted, lyrical storytelling. On this third official release, he also issued an EP entitled ‘Dark Notions’ in late 2021 which was a very good record indeed. Rogers comes across as a manly yet tender outcast with an honest musical solidarity to fellow wounded exile-pioneers who have experienced similar rocky relationships and existential pain.

The tender, raw yet cinematically sophisticated instrumentation on ‘Gameblood’ is reminiscent of Classic Folk albums such as John Martyn’s ‘Solid Air’, the soulful craft of Keb Mo’s ‘Blues Americana’ and the glistening if lacerating baroque balladry of Tom Waits' ‘Mule Variations’. Having worked as a tattoo artist for over a decade following the release of his debut album, the additional attention to human vulnerability and creative detail he has brought across from the skill set required in that industry has helped to set Rogers apart from most of his contemporaries.
