Bio

Josh Rogan has made a career out of Believing.

His philosophy is that chasing the dream is a way of life and “it ain’t nothing if you don't believe". Materializing the dream includes songwriting, playing guitar, recording, and performing, and the best part is connecting with people. His work has been highlighted with relationships all over the country and it’s the lifeblood of making music. Music has made so many wonderful connections with great people for Josh. It’s the most inspirational part of the career for him.

In addition to new friends, the journey also includes studio recordings in Nashville, TN Charlottesville, VA. Thousand Oaks, CA., and a live album. Rogan has produced two albums, one EP, and multiple singles. Music has taken him all over the country and it all began organically. Josh was raised in a home with acoustic and electric guitars. The Dire Straits and JJ Cale were the soundtrack to his youth along with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Chrissy Hines. Dylan, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Sting, and the Gypsy Kings.

At the time (In childhood, he would perform his original music in front of friends and family and quickly thereafter it was on to open mic nights in Charlottesville, Aspen, and as far away as Gibraltar. Josh and his guitar have been all over the world and he has been encouraged and invited to play his music all along the way. Josh's first paid gig was a UVa college graduation party while he was still a senior in high school. It all fell into place naturally. People wanted to hear Josh play the Guitar and sing.


After years of performing live, Josh landed his first weekly Friday night gig at Miller's in Charlottesville Va for four consecutive years. Learning to serve up good vibes on a Friday night was as formidable as learning how to play the guitar itself, Josh believes.   Connecting with the audience was a talent that was sharpened during those many Friday nights. Those years also included every gig around from Floydfest to Crozet Music Festival, Motorcycle Rallies, Art openings, weddings to any gig imaginable, and headlining his hometown “Fridays after Five” multiple times. It wasn't long before hitting the road out of town was part of his destiny.

During his eight years of touring the country and residence in Colorado Josh would perform everywhere from the festivals of Colorado towns like Carbondale Mountain Fair, Meekerfest, and Aspen Food and Wine to performances ranging from Florida to Oregan, Nebraska to Texas and Louisiana, and everywhere in between. 5-star resorts and motorcycle rallies to private cocktail parties and weddings.

Josh was featured at the Carbondale, CO. Wild West Rodeo. His songs and his acoustic instrumental version of the National Anthem was such a success that he became the only live music performance that the Rodeo would include for four consecutive years.


Josh also landed weekly gigs at the Hotel Jerome (an Auberge resort) in Aspen, CO for 4 consecutive years in their legendary bar “The Living Room”. Additionally, Josh played weekly gigs at the Saint Regis Resort in Aspen, CO for four consecutive years both poolside and Apres Ski. He also played weekly gigs at the Viceroy in Snowmass, CO for Apres Ski weekly gigs and Slow Groovin BBQ with performances at corporate events, weddings, the hotel Colorado Christmas tree lighting event, and an unforgettable private party in Joshua Tree California.
