Kelli Rogers - Live Music

Growing up in the back of The Grey Stone Saloon in northern Minnesota in the early ’80s, Kelli Rogers was surrounded by music long before she ever held a guitar. While her parents played classic covers and originals in their Saturday-night band, Kelli was absorbing every note from the sidelines – and occasionally the spotlight. By age five, she was already on stage singing “Ain’t Nothin’ But a Hound Dog.”

Influenced by artists like Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, and Neil Young, along with the oldies and hit songs of every decade, Kelli developed a deep appreciation for storytelling, entertaining, and music that brings people together. She picked up the guitar at 16 for a talent show, but life took her down other paths before music finally circled back in a big way.

In the summer of 2023, Kelli began fulfilling a lifelong goal: performing live for small audiences as a solo voice-and-guitar artist. Today, she loves creating an easy, engaging atmosphere with an eclectic mix of oldies, classic rock, country, and current hits. No two sets are exactly the same – Kelli reads the room and lets the mood of the crowd guide the music.
