Returning from a hiatus since fall of 2019, Rogers Park is releasing the first of a series of live recordings in preparation of work on their 3rd Studio album slated to be released early next year.
Rogers Park covers “No Place Like Home” from Abie Rotenberg‘s collaboration with Moshe Yess on Journey‘s vol. 1. As leading voices in the contemporary folk-inspired Jewish music circle, Rogers Park has been greatly influence by the songwriting of both Abie Rotenberg and Moshe Yess (previously receiving an award for their cover of Moshe Yess‘ “Beggar Woman” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxaRLf6HKWo).
“As we begin work on our 3rd album, this seemed like the perfect cover to do. A collaboration from both of our most influential English-language Jewish songwriters. The message is particularly resonant now after a long break of performing during COVID, we’ve spent so much time traveling inwards to write a series of songs that are a huge step forward from any of our work we’ve showcased until now”, said Mordy Kurtz – vocalist and songwriter for Rogers Park.
The duo plans to release 2 more live recordings featuring newly written songs that will be featured on their upcoming album. Stay tuned for the upcoming videos in this live series coming soon.
