About the Instructor
As a co-founder of the GRAMMY-winning super group The SteelDrivers, Tammy Rogers has solidified a unique sound that resonates around the globe. Nurtured by a family deeply rooted in bluegrass with her dad showing her a few chords on the mandolin at the age of five, she stepped onto the stage of various bluegrass festivals with the family band. The rest reads like a novel of an aspiring musician, but her story is non-fiction and has numerous chapters of accolades and accomplishments. After receiving a scholarship to SMU (Southern Methodist University) for classical performance, the Tennessee native studied and discovered a variety of styles and realized Nashville was her future and transferred to Belmont University to round out her education. There was no turning back as she quickly became one of her most in-demand players and toured with some of the hottest acts on the road. From Trisha Yearwood and Patty Loveless, Emmy Lou Harris to Buddy Miller, Rogers found herself playing from coast-to-coast, as well as performing on numerous TV shows and developing a solid session player reputation for various platinum-selling artists.
