Grant Rogers

Grant Rogers (1907–1979) was an American folk musician, fiddler, guitarist, and songwriter from the Catskills of New York. He was a self-taught musician who worked as a stonecutter. He composed songs about Catskills life and was documented by folklorists as a traditional "songmaker" of the region. He recorded for Folk-Legacy Records and Folkways Records, appeared at the Newport Folk Festival, and performed on Pete Seeger's television series Rainbow Quest.

Life Rogers was born in 1907 in Walton, in Delaware County in the western Catskills. He spent part of his youth in Sullivan County before returning to the West Branch of the Delaware River valley, an area later flooded by the Cannonsville Reservoir.
