Hailing from Santa Cruz, CA, Poi Rogers performs original and vintage American roots music, with Gerard Egan doubling on acoustic guitar and triple neck steel and Carolyn Sills on standup bass, their timeless harmonies anchoring the show.

They won the 2018 and 2024 Ameripolitan Award for Western Swing Group (as ‘The Carolyn Sills Combo’), and Carolyn was named the Academy of Western Artists’ Western Swing Female Vocalist of 2020.  They performed at the 2024 Monterey Jazz Festival and are both Sacramento Western Swing Hall of Fame inductees. They’ve been known to spontaneously perform other musicians’ material, from ZZ Top to Patsy Cline to Django Reinhardt. For them, it’s all about having a good time.

What began as a fun way for the couple to explore the vintage musical styles they love turned into an in-demand touring act, with the second Poi Rogers album due out in 2026.
