Skylar Rogers

Chicago native Skylar Rogers has been compared to icons of the music industry such as Tina Turner and Etta James and there is no doubt that her infectious blend of soul-rocking blues is poised to continue to amaze audiences around the globe.

Finding your place on the Blues scene requires a rich vein of history to draw on, and like many of her heroes, she has lived through pain and suffering to become the artist she is today. Raised in the church and told she couldn’t sing because she wasn’t the right fit, Skylar’s life took many unexpected twists and turns before she settled once again into the world that brought her so much joy.

Raised by a mother who also sang, her journey through divorce, a life in the military, the death of a child, truck driving and homelessness, all taught her lessons that can never be forgotten. After a near fatal bout of pneumonia and being diagnosed with several autoimmune diseases, she decided to live life on her own terms. She was determined not to be bound by others’ expectations and this rebellious spirit is evident in all the music she makes.

With a voice that grips the soul and fills you with the energy and passion that only rocking blues can provide, some highlights from her career so far include sharing a stage with multiple contemporary and rock blues artists. Skylar was also honored to be considered by the Grammy Committee for songs from both her “Firebreather” and “Among the Insanity” CDs.

Her latest release, “Among the Insanity” (March 2023), received great acclaim with airplay throughout the US and Internationally (8 countries). She received the 2023 Josie Music Award for Blues/ Jazz Song of the Year for her song “Ride That Lightning”, and listed at #5 on the Roots Music Report for Top Blues Rock Album 2023.

Her next release is anticipated in Fall 2024. Discover her work in all its glory and find a world that has all the sassiness of a woman determined to make the most of every opportunity. This is her moment and the sky’s the limit.
