Sally also plays live in the studio. 

Sally Rogers began her career as a full-time touring musician in 1979 after encouragement from Stan Rogers, the legendary Canadian singer-songwriter. That was followed by an invitation from Garrison Keillor to appear on A Prairie Home Companion. She appeared more than a dozen times on that show, in the wake of 14 recordings. Her travels have taken her to Europe, China, Hungary and Poland, and across the United States.
 
Much of Rogers’ time is spent teaching music in the public schools as an artist-in-residence. Her gorgeous singing voice, boundless energy and good humor are welcomed from coast to coast.
