The Sound
Country, outlaw country, and blues — guitar and vocal music built for rooms where people are actually listening, or at least supposed to be having a good time.
The country side covers classic, 90s, and modern country, plus outlaw country with some grit. The blues side is guitar-driven: blues and blues rock, the kind of playing that still works on one acoustic when the room calls for it. Americana sits in the middle — songs that hold up with a guitar, a voice, and a live audience.

About Roger
Roger Avery Jr. is a guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He spent eleven years in Nashville, from 2001 to 2012 — living at the end of Music Row and working Lower Broadway as a full-time job for years, inside that music family.
He toured the country with Kalamity Jane for a number of years, and spent those Nashville years playing with some of the best songwriters in town. That work still shapes how he plays: strong songs, a guitar that serves the room, and a delivery built for live audiences.
His playing comes out of country, outlaw country, blues, and guitar-driven American roots music. He now performs solo acoustic material and is available for live bookings in New Hampshire, Maine, and throughout New England.
