Mac Rogers

Toronto trumpeter/composer Mac Rogers blends jazz, art rock and experimental folk/pop to colour his journey of transformation and healing. Alternating from quiet, contemplative themes to crescendos of chaos, he draws on themes of reflection, loss and self-actualization.

His sentimental approach to music performance and storytelling is deeply inspired by his love for the people and places that define his local community. At present, he leads a 10-piece workshop that features band members of Toronto indie rising stars Burs, Leith Ross, Basement Revolver, Re: Selfcare & Ellis. The group performs a mix of his original compositions and arrangements of the music of Canadian heroes like Feist, Gord Downie, Bry Webb, Sandro Perri and The Weakerthans.
