Roger Hammer’s bio:

What is Hand Crafted Folk Rock built on the Blues?? The hand crafted part refers to our style of original acoustic-oriented songs.? We also recognize the Blues as the basis for so much popular music that have been big influences to us.

Roger’s early musical training began with piano at the age of 5, followed by clarinet, sax, guitar and bass.?? He has played in orchestras and bands in hundreds of appearances in Chicago and surrounding Midwest states.?? Most recently he has played both solo and with Harrisburg area bands.?? He proudly supports musical organizations like the?Susquehanna Folk Music Society?and the Blues?Society of Central Pennsylvania.

Roger says:? "Covers are originals you have heard before, while standards are covers you have heard forever.?? I try to write original music and lyrics that sound familiar enough to like right away, but with something new and interesting, and enough substance to last.? The singer-songwriter journey is fun and rewarding."
