Who
on Earth is Andy Rogers Anyway?
Andy
Rogers is a worship Leader and
songwriter from the Causeway Coast of Ireland with songs published and
recordings produced on EMI’s Kingsway label.
An
artist on Kingsway’s original ‘New Celts’
album (along with Robin Mark, Brian Houston & Joanne Hogg) and
more recently on ‘Engage24’ with Ian Hannah, his
style has been described as ‘Ethno-Celt’ - a mix of
acoustic ethnic sounds fused with contemporary musical sensibilities.
He
has been part of the pioneering team at Causeway
Coast Vineyard under the leadership of Alan and Kathryn Scott
since 1999 and
continues to serve there with his wife and family.
He
is also one of the founding members of the Coleraine House of Prayer
(C-HOP) team along with Ian Hannah. C-HOP is an
intercessory worship gathering
in Coleraine, Northern Ireland that started life as a one-off 24hr
worship event back in May 2000 and continues to grow as a regular
gathering of worshipers and intercessors from various church
backgrounds.
Worship
leading throughout Ireland and beyond, his music has taken
him to such diverse venues as churches and conferences to the
nightclubs of Eastern Europe and even the brothels of Thailand (you can
see video clips of that here).
He passionately believes that when people worship then God does amazing
things just like He promised - and it doesn’t have to be
‘in church’.
He
has also created OpenSourceSongs.com,
a global worship songwriting collective where song writers and worship
leaders collaborate freely on an ‘open source’
basis with their ideas.
Andy
lives in Coleraine with his wife, daughters and an old cat named
Tangles!
