Put on your walking shoes and come take a stroll through my country hometown hillsides of Woodstock, NY.  

 "Ponderin' on Yerry Hill Road" is a song to help put some stride in your step. No walk alone is without contemplation and reflection in to the imagery of your own world surrounded by what is, what was, and what may be found around that bend..

Billy Rogan interview - Stony Brook University at Webster Hall NYC

All aboard this train that is traveling through landscapes of memory and time! "Steam Powered" is a musical journey that starts off galloping the listener on, over and through the winding tracks and hillsides while creating moments of reflection, relaxation and a warm sense of wonder for what's around the bend. 

The second section to the composition then moves to insert the listener into the perspective of one that has transcended their current time and surroundings to a mode of remembrance by attempting to construct strong imagery and romanticized nostalgia that is passionately ignited by the recollection of this once regal, refined, distinguished and adventurous way of travel during these simpler, yet dignified times in America's history. There is an almost sad sense of beauty that "Steam Powered" has captured wonderfully in the knowing that comes with an understanding to this nearly abandoned mode of travel and transport, in this once magical era, that is all but now a memory now for the many lives that have come and gone. 

This recording is a rough demo of a new original composition written by guitarist/songwriter/composer Billy Rogan. Recorded at Vinegar Hill Sound in Brooklyn, NY, this session features piano, drums, upright bass and guitar.

Drums: Alex Kirkpatric

"Steam Powered"

A very beautiful composition written by popular Japanese guitarist Kotaro Oshio. 

Recorded on garageband. Compressed fattened and sent to outerspace with delay. A little bit too much all around, but somehow it all still works slightly enough for you to hopefully enjoy the beautiful melody and song. Happy Spring.

"Guitarist Billy Rogan performs sweeping sounds of altered tunings with the drama of finger-tapping and other aggressive hand techniques. The result is music that is evocative and atmospheric."
