Album Of The Week

"Det är roligt när man blir överraskad av något helt nytt. Precis så känns det när Mark Rogers presenterar '30 Minutes From Water Street', en skiva som verkligen sticker ut i höstmörkret, och som jag kommer att spela ofta framöver. Sammantaget 8 låtar och inte en enda som känns onödig, inte minst 'California 10' och 'To Open Your Eyes'. 2 lämpliga lyssnar-objekt för den som vill provlyssna."

- Torbjörn Berlin / Berlin Calling -

"Här är 8 spår med folkrock-tongångar, och klara precisa låtar, som har tydliga texter som berättar något som ligger både sångaren nära, och är allmängiltiga i sin universella tonkonst."

- Micheles Kindh / Blaskan -

"Since 2017, singer songwriter Mark Rogers has released a remarkable catalog of melodic indie, pop, folk and rock music. In 2024, he presented his 3rd and unmistakably best album yet, '30 Minutes From Water Street'."

- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -

"Mark Rogers' '30 Minutes From Water Street' is coupled with catchy melodies and a vocal that sits perfectly within the arrangement, it becomes an enjoyable and very listenable combination."

- Trevor Raggatt / Rock'N'Reel Magazine -

"This particular showcase gets off to a genuinely appealing start. Mark Rogers has an easy going talent with the type of talent you’d find in someone like Paul Simon, and any of these tunes could’ve easily been prime Simon & Garfunkel or even England’s late troubadour David McWilliams in Rogers’ 'Natalie'. Rogers has a suave versatile manner with a voice that is plaintive and dominant when married up to the gritty, yet melodic guitars he adds to 'California 10'. A mellifluous beauty of a tune which is one of 8 original songs featured on the excursion that’s '30 Minutes From Water Street'."

- John Apice / Americana Highways -

"With 8 catchy indie folk and pop tunes on his 3rd record '30 Minutes From Water Street', American singer songwriter Mark Rogers from Washington DC demonstrates his excellent skills to compose and sing infectious melodies like the outstanding songs 'Prison Block 9' and 'Edelweiss'."

- Valére Sampermans / Rootstime -

"Mark Rogers demonstrates unique songwriting abilities with lyrical storylines, that invite and compel the listener, and he does all these things easily and honestly."

- Branimir Lokner / Time Machine Music -
