Born in East London, Glenn Rogers who resides in Romford grew up in the traditions of the East End of the 60s & 70s. His passion for entertaining was evident from a very early age, often singing along to traditional cockney songs around the piano (pretty much every household in London had a piano in those days!), or tucked under the table with a Pepsi and an Arrowroot biscuit in a local pub. Glenn’s great, great grandfather was professor of music at Oxford University and this connection enabled Glenn to take his music and technical theatre degrees at Brookes College Oxford.
Glenn has been entertaining professionally for close to 50 years, starting out as a pit and session musician before moving into cabaret as a singer and comedian (where he earned his moniker, The Outrageous Glenn Rogers).
His forward-thinking mindset drove him to leave a comfortable career in classical music and London cabaret and voice coaching to begin a Country music career and although the last 20 years have been dedicated to the promotion of Country music, Glenn continues to perform every conceivable genre of music to audiences of all types.
In 2011, Glenn teamed up with Phil Mack and launched the Phil Mack International Country Show on Sky TV. Glenn Rogers Crazy World was launched on the same channel in 2012 and, together, the shows boasted in excess of 1 million viewers worldwide. In 2016 Glenn & Phil launched Keep It Country TV on Sky and FreeView, Europe’s only 24/7 Country music channel. The channel now broadcasts as Music & Memories on FreeView 271.
In addition Glenn has had a book published that all budding artists should read. Entertainers of Glenn’s calibre are rare in today’s entertainment industry.
His passion for performing and for people is as strong as ever and this big man with a huge personality and infectious smile is available for your venue.
Glenn Rogers is now welcomed as the 64th member of the British Country Music Hall of Fame which also means he can add BCMHoF after this name to be – MMUS BA (Hons) Production & Technical Arts: Stage & Screen; BCMHoF.
