Bio
Peter Rogan is a guitarist/singer/songwriter living outside the Philadelphia area near Reading, Pa. Peter's music is a blend of Americana, blues, classic rock, and jazz. He released his first full length CD March 1st, 2019 and has just released his follow up CD, "Broken Down Love", in February of 2022. Peter is a three-time finalist in the Great American Song Contest in 2014, 2016 and 2018. And a winner in the instrumental category in 2017 for a composition he co-wrote with Chris Heslop called "Song for Keith".
Peter Rogan grew up in the 1970's playing rock and blues. He discovered jazz in his late teens and started to study music more seriously in his early twenties. Not fitting in with the hair bands of the early 80's, Peter abandoned rock and roll and dove into jazz full-time. He moved to NYC in 1985 and studied with Leni Stern, took lessons with John Abercrombie and Wayne Krantz and tried to play and jam as much as possible with people in the jazz world. Returning to Pennsylvania to take a steady paying musical job, he began playing weddings, bar mitzvahs, and all kinds of society jobs in and around the eastern PA, NJ, and New York areas. He did this for many years. Peter currently works in a steel mill in Reading, Pa. and writes and plays in his spare time.
