SongVault Artist Profile

Roger and the Rockets is a band from Örnsköldsvik in the north of Sweden formed around the tunes written by the singer in the band, Roger Häggström. We have recently released a new CD "Unknown man" with new Americana / alt-country material. The record is a result from three odd years in a studio together with musicians and friends. The plans has shifted over time and so has the members of the band. The musicians in the band are some of the best musicians from our hometown as well as a couple enthusiastic amateurs. Some names worth mentioning are Mats Byström who plays at least one instrument in each song and made most of the arrangements, and Björn Sohlin who added spice to the mix with his fiddle and hamonica. Simplicity is the name of the game, the music, the arrangements and the lyrics
