You’re evergreen… I’m feeling warm in the wintertime…and it seems…It’s getting colder but I’m feeling fine”. This line from the title track of Jake Wesley Rogers’ latest EP, Evergreen, on the surface speaks of an affair of the heart, while metaphorically,  Evergreen is a reflection of all the changes Rogers was experiencing in his life. One of those changes was moving from Missouri to Nashville at the age of 18 to attend college at Belmont University. Shortly after starting school, Rogers entered a songwriting showcase that resulted in a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing. Born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1996, Rogers began performing at the age of three for anyone who would watch him. At the age of fifteen, Rogers was a quarterfinalist on the seventh season of America’s Got Talent. Rogers is no stranger to the road today and has toured extensively with his side pr oject band LUX and is now preparing to get on the road with his own solo music. Rogers is also actively songwriting and has had music placed on “Days of Our Lives” and E’s “Party On”.Despite his age, Jake’s musical influences are more like that of an old-soul, as he cites Fleetwood Mac, Carole King, The Rolling Stones as well as Adele and Lana Del Rey as his inspiration.

"Born and raised just outside of Atlanta, David Dennis felt called to music from an early age. Growing up in the church, opportunities were plentiful for him to worship God through music, and in doing so he was able to discover and foster his musical ability. After moving to Nashville in the fall of 2014, David immersed himself in the Music City community and began to develop himself as an artist.

With his music, David seeks to write songs that strengthen his listeners in the soul, encourage them in the heart, and inspire them in the mind. David desires to use his platform to encourage this generation to follow their dreams and to believe if God called them to do something then there is no doubt He will fulfil it. “There are too many superstars in the church, and my heart is not to build my empire but His kingdom.” David loves to build relationships, interact with others, and eat chicken nuggets with BBQ sauce."
