[edit] Biography

Randy Rogers was born in Cleburne, Texas. When he was six years old, he learned to play the piano from his great-grandmother, and later learned to play the guitar;[1] he wrote his first song at age thirteen.[2] Later, Randy joined a backing band, before deciding to form his own band.

The Randy Rogers Band recorded its debut album, Live at Cheatham Street Warehouse at a bar of the same name in San Marcos, Texas.[1][3] By 2002, the band was signed to the independent Downtime record label, on which they released the album Like It Used to Be. Two years later, the album Rollercoaster was released, producing two minor entries on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in early 2005.[1] Several of the songs on Rollercoaster were co-written by Radney Foster, who also co-produced the album.[3] Just a Matter of Time, the band's first major-label album, was released on Mercury Nashville Records in 2006.[1]
