Nathan Rogers
Nathan Rogers (born July 16, 1979 in Hamilton, Ontario) is a Canadian folk musician/songwriter. He is the son of Stan and Ariel Rogers. His father, a folk musician and songwriter, died in a fire aboard Air Canada Flight 797 on June 2, 1983.
Rogers was immersed in the songwriting tradition from an early age, gaining a keen appreciation for singers and songwriters like Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot and Leonard Cohen. The music of his father, Stan, also featured heavily in his early listening.
Early musical experience consisted of singing in school choirs and plays. While attending boarding school in Oakville, Rogers worked with a world-class boys choir, occasionally touring as far afield as New Orleans. Rogers completed his high school education at Westdale Secondary School in 1997 and moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1998. Rogers worked with Mitch Podolak on the World Next Door Festival then stayed in Winnipeg to pursue a degree in Religious Studies.
In 2004, Rogers approached Rick Fenton to produce his debut album, True Stories. Around the time Rogers released True Stories, he began to develop his talent at throat singing. He has since added a stomp box to his shows to provide rhythm and regularly features Mongolian and Tuvan throat singing. Rogers has been to Iqaluit to study Inuit throat singing and to teach the Tuvan styles.
Nathan Rogers (writer)
Nathan Rogers (30 May 1638 – after 1708) was a landowner, lawyer, politician and writer in Monmouthshire, Wales. He is notable for his radical polemic Memoirs of Monmouth-Shire..., published in 1708 and later known as The Secret Memoirs of Monmouthshire.
Early years
He was the son of Wroth Rogers of Llanvaches, who had been a colonel in the Parliamentarian New Model Army under Oliver Cromwell, and who claimed descent from the Vaughan family of Tretower Court. Nathan Rogers matriculated from St John's College, Oxford in July 1655, and in 1659 was briefly a member of the Third Protectorate Parliament, representing Hereford. He became the lord of two manors in Monmouthshire, with his seat on the south side of Mynydd Alt-tir Fach (or "Money Turvey") near Llanvaches. He also qualified as a lawyer, and became steward of the manor of Caldicot in the 1670s.

True Stories
by: Nathan RogersWe came to clear the land.
To save the child, convert the man
but all we could do was watch them die.
It seemed that every soul we saved was destined for an
early grave
and the brothers barely stopped to question why.
Chorus
When we boarded a ship from France it seemed like we’d
have a
chance to do God’s work out in the cold and wild.
But every deathbed conversion was just another sad
perversion.
I wonder what became of Mary’s child.
In the village of Ste. Marie I saw her.
She was twenty-three.
I thought that we would help to ease her pain.
“My mother and father have died. My husband’s dead.
They’re gone.” She cried.
“My unborn child and I remain.”
Chorus
When we boarded a ship from France it seemed like we’d
have a
chance to do God’s work out in the cold and wild.
But every deathbed conversion was just another sad
perversion.
I wonder what became of Mary’s child.
She gave her new son life but it was something she
could not survive.
We buried her beneath a Christian name and the boy was
taken back to Chartres.
Forever he would live apart.
I know nothing of the man that he became.

I wonder what became of Mary’s child.
