[1] A Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland, blues rock singer-songwriter who débuted with EP Promise Of Day (2004) and album Drawing Clocks (2006).

Recorded in 2005's Italian summer, Drawing Clocks showcases Rogers' narrative talent and restlessness. Diversely travelled, he draws on his own experiences to deliver stories that appeal to the ear and heart, with poignant phrasing and delivery that may keep a song in the head for days. How Will I Sleep? was used on The River King (2005, Myriad Pictures), film soundtrack. He also featured on Worldspace/XM satellite radio's week-long 'Best of British Music' programmes, in conjunction with their exclusive live USA coverage of 2006 Brit Awards - recorded live from Abbey Road Studios, London.

His influences, include: Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen, Sting and James Taylor - plus, fellow countrymen, Van Morrison and Paul Brady. Solo acoustic or with regular backing, live sets combine heart stopping vocals, slick acoustic guitar and showcase a penchant for story telling, within his songs. He might come across as a Homeric minstrel, narrating reality. An ambassador for times gone, and times to come, creating a tangible / honest performance, to connect with all ages.

Lee Rogers Lyrics

Wont you stay with me, all through the night
I know you got your work, but I can take you there its alright
I been here alone, day after day its a long time since anyone
Ever made me feel this way
And I know it wont be dark here anymore
You let in the light when you open my door
And I know you wont ever go away
I'm asking you tonight just
Stay,stay............

I swear on the moon and the stars in heaven above
Nothing else matters now but Love, Love, Love
I swear on the moon and the stars in heaven above
Nothing else matters now but Love, Love, Love

You're like this open book,but just for me
For you I'm just the same, for you my feelings are for free
How we going now? Babe are we ok?
I know I ask the same old thing about a million times a day
And I know it wont be dark here anymore
You let in the light when you open my door
And I know you wont ever go away
I'm asking you tonight just

Stay,stay............

I swear on the moon and the stars in heaven above
Nothing else matters now but Love, Love, Love
I swear on the moon and the stars in heaven above
Nothing else matters now but Love, Love, Love

Wasn't ever gonna get to be, wasn't ever gonna see
Im never gonna know just what's out there in front of me
Why'd you come here anyway, why'd you promise you where gonna stay
You tell me that you love me, today of all days

I swear on the moon and the stars in heaven above
Nothing else matters now but Love, Love, Love
I swear on the moon and the stars in heaven above
Nothing else matters now but Love, Love, Love
I swear on the moon and the stars in heaven above
Nothing else matters now but Love, Love, Love
I swear on the moon and the stars in heaven above
Nothing else matters now but Love, Love, Love
