Re: Northwest Passage, Nathan Rogers and Frie

[chelseasleep]

have you ever heard Nathan play his own music, or throat sing? He's amazing.

I was at a Nathan Rogers concert last week in New Jersey. He was excellent!

Not his dad, his uncle, sheesh

[Darkmind1970]

Um, Stan was his father.

[var2d2]

oops, thinking Garnet, thx

[JenniferDales]

Grumble, grumble. I wonder how Nathan feels about this constant comparison to Stan? I think Nathan sounds amazing, whether or not he sounds like his Dad.I find his sound very original. He doesn't need his Dad's legend to make him real, even if he does do Stan proud. Wonderful piece, Nathan!

WOW! This was my first visit to Summerfolk and I was at this performance. I can't believe and yet am so glad that someone recorded this. I love the voice and the love in the audience was palpable.

Thank you,thank you to the performers and recorder.

Hey everyone!

I must give a huge shout out to Ken(on mandolin). His solo is just awesome. Thanks also to Paul, Trevor and Ben. This is one of my quintessential memories of Summerfolk 2007. Cheers to all of you who are proud Canadians and/or stan fans. Also, big thanks to singers in the crowd. Nice to see you all there!

Cheers and Thanks!

Nathan Rogers

I'm getting goose bumps listening to this.Nathan sounds so much like his father.

[fiddlereliz]

That's what I felt, too.. I was heavily into disco when Stan and Garnet lived in the same small town as me in the '70's. Consequently, I never knew of them, and sadly, never heard Stan sing live. Hearing Nathan sing this at Summerfolk just whoppingly made up for that massive regret. I look forward to hearing a lot of Nathan in the years to come.

[nanashigriff]

I can agree to this, entirely. I was born all of a month after Stan passed away, so never had the opportunity to hear him sing in person. However, I was at Stanfest in Canso just this summer, and when he performed Northwest Passage there it was like Stan was up on that stage singing with him. I have to admit to getting a little misty-eyed, standing in that huge crowd and singing along. Nathan is an amazing talent, and I hope to hear a lot more of his own voice in the future!
