Recorded at ’The Blues Can’ in Calgary Alberta. ‘Everytime’ is a LIVE BLUES recording. Raw, rough and dirty. This album consists of 5 songs, all original and written by Rogers. Recorded right off the board with every mistake. ‘Everytime’ brings three new unreleased songs and two previously released songs.

Everytime showcases a blues power trio and gives you a feel for Rogers as a guitarist, singer and songwriter. Backing up Rogers are Slammin’ Mike Wedge on bass and Mike Woodford on drums.

In 1995, at the age of 19, Rogers teamed up with former B.B. King bassist Russell Jackson and began a tour that lasted five years. Based in Kansas City, they played an endless string of clubs, concerts and festivals sharing the bill with Canned Heat, Sam Taylor, The Holmes Brothers, Elvin Bishop, Kenny Neal, Katie Webster and countless others. In 2000, Rogers started his own band and played blues clubs across Canada and Europe. Rogers opened and performed with various blues artists such as The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Dave and Phil Alvin and many more. When he wasn’t working under his own name he appeared on US tours and recordings with many other blues acts.

James ‘Buddy’ Rogers’ main influences on guitar – Johnny Watson, Jimmie Vaughan and the three Kings – plus years of being a blues road warrior have helped shape him into a well-seasoned blues guitarist. James ‘Buddy’ Rogers; his music is here to stay.
