Artist Biography For Roger Rodier

Roger Rodier Born In Montréal Was A Canadian Folk Singer/songwriter. His 1972 Album "Upon Velveatur" On Columbia Was Very Much In Line With The Folk-Rock-Oriented Singer-Songwriter Trends Of The Era. It Was At Least As Much Indebted To British Sounds From That Genre As North American Ones And Featured Breathy Vocals Subdued Melancholy And Combination Of Predominantly Acoustic Guitars With Subtle Strings And Some Female Backup Vocals. Prior To The Album Rodier Had Issued A Couple Of Singles On The Local Montréal Label "Pax" The First Of Them Sung In French. Despite Getting Praised In Rolling Stone By Lester Bangs For Its "timeless Grace " The Album Upon Velveatur Received Little Exposure When It Was Issued In Autumn 1972. Rodier Made Only A Small Number Of Gigs Some Alone Some In Support Of Procol Harum And Genesis. Although Rodier Did Start Work On A Second Album For Columbia In Early 1973 It Wasn't Finished And Rodier Left Music A Few Years Later Without Having Released Anything Else.
