Davis Rogan
Thursday at 2:00 pm
At the National Park Service French Quarter Visitor Center
419 Decatur St, New Orleans
This program is free and open to the public.
Davis Rogan draws his musical inspiration from Professor Longhair and Fats Domino, as does every New Orleans rhythm & blues piano player. What separates Davis is his lyrics. The wit, irony and self-deprecation echo Randy Newman, but the wry observations about life, humanity, and New Orleans are uniquely his.
This combination of roots music and sharp lyrics, heard in the 2005 release, The Once and Future DJ, drew auteur David Simon to Davis as David prepared his HBO series about New Orleans, TREME. Davis began working as a consultant and, over six years and four seasons of the show, served as an actor, a scriptwriter, a piano coach, a songwriter and the muse for the character Davis McAlary. By the series’ end, Davis had written or placed more music in the show than any other musician.
