The musical stylings of Roger Harrison

The ETC Theater
Tickets at the door $5
Roger Harrison, long-time local musician, will perform with friends in concert at the ETC Theater on Saturday, July 28.
Roger is a well-known locally and nationally. He started playing at age 10, and joined the musicians union in 1964 at age 11. From 1964 through 1972, he was part of a family band called the Guitar Dusters that cut three 45 records.
The Guitar Duster’s family band opened shows for various artists, including Waylon Jennings, Jerry Lee Lewis, Conway Twitty, Dave Dudley, Kitty wells, Archie Campbell, and Hank Williams Jr.
Roger then joined with his brother and toured the Midwest for three years. In 1977 he branched off to do a one man show.
Since then he has been writing original Christian music and performing for various churches and other events. He also started teaching guitar & bass guitar in 1972, and presently teaches at Barron County Campus in Rice Lake, Roger’s Guitar Studio in Shell Lake, and the Dancing Bird Art & Music Gallery in Cumberland.
Roger recorded an album in 1977, cassette tapes in 1985, and continues to produce CDs to the present day.
Roger says he loves to play and share music with others. There is no greater pleasure than to teach others to enjoy music as much as I have through the years.
The Roger Harrison concert is part of ETCs continuing Local Musicians Concert Series. He will perform solo songs, and also share the stage with Nancy Beecroft and some of his talented guitar students.
The concert begins at 7pm. Admission is $5 at the door.
