TEXAS CAVALIERS
GRAND MARSHAL RANDY ROGERS Country music fans in Texas and beyond have become more than familiar with Randy Rogers’ name over the past 20 years, during which the singer has cemented himself as part of the Lone Star State’s thriving Country music culture alongside his band, the Randy Rogers Band. The group, founded San Marcos, Texas, is composed of Randy Rogers, Geoffrey Hill, Jon Richardson, Brady Black, Les Lawless, and Todd Stewart. Together for nearly 20 years with all original members still on the roster, the Randy Rogers Band is more than a band, it’s a brotherhood. Committed to making music, which they view as their life’s calling, the band brings together each member’s unique contribution to form a fully compelling sound.
Founded in Texas, the Randy Rogers Band has grown its fanbase to a national level, playing sold-out high-energy shows across the United States. The group released its first studio album, Like It Used to Be, in 2002. Since then, they have given fans seven more projects and scored global streaming numbers in the hundreds of millions, charting seven singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and numerous #1 songs on Texas Country Radio. Rogers has scored six Top 10 albums on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, five with his band and one with Wade Bowen. The Randy Rogers Band is currently gearing up to release their ninth studio album this year, which was launched with lead single “Picture Frames” in October 2021. The project will follow 2019’s HELLBENT, which was produced by Grammy winner Dave Cobb and recorded in Nashville’s legendary RCA Studio A. With their new project arriving soon, the group will only continue to cement its two-decades and counting legacy. Along with the Randy Rogers Band’s accomplishments, Rogers has worked on several collaborative projects including partnering with his friend Wade Bowen on the Hold My Beer projects, teamed with his mentor and Texas legend Robert Earl Keen as the Stryker Brothers and joined Lyle Lovett, Willie Nelson and Jerry Jeff Walker to sing on Michael Martin Murphey’s Austinology album. Aside from music, Rogers co-owns multiple venues in the Lone Star State including Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos, Texas. In September 2021, he launched his new whiskey brand, Bahnbrëcker, the world’s first Hefeweizen-style whiskey. The drink was inspired by an ideal Texas summer day spent floating down the river in New Braunfels, Texas. He is also involved in multiple philanthropic ventures including the Randy Rogers Band’s annual The Randy Rogers Band Charity Golf Jam & Tournament, which celebrated its first year in 2009 and raises funds for charities around the country. Rogers also established the Randy Rogers Family Foundation, created to direct donations to charities with which the singer is affiliated. Rogers’ love for his home state shines through in every venture he takes on, making his selection as the 2022 Honorary Grand Marshal of the 2022 Texas Cavaliers River Parade a Lone Star certainty
