Bedfordshire, UK-based Bud Rogers has been “making noise” since he was a little guy–drums first, then guitars. His musical career took the opposite turn of most: he started in rock, then went back to school to get classically-trained! He scored a couple of films and wrote a concerto, but rock and roll kept calling. He was a big part of the sound of the band Swidenbank, whom we’ve played a lot on this show over the years. Five years ago, when he started releasing solo records, he really honed and refined his sound. It’s a big rock sound–heavy on the guitars, with solid writing and soulful vocals. Bud’s been a favorite on Twirl Radio since then–and even won our coveted Male Vocalist of the Year Twirlie Award.

Late last year, he released the four song EP “Starman”–featuring a wonderful cover of the David Bowie song, plus three originals. Today, we caught up, and had a lively chat.
