Roger Greenaway

Roger Greenaway is one of the most original musicians currently writing and performing in New Zealand.
His blend of timeless and sometimes experimental, guitar rock and thematic songwriter pop has created some of the most beautiful and poignant songs to be performed in the country’s clubs and venues.

Roger released his debut album Wayt on his own Sunshine Productions label in November of 2004. He followed it up with two successful nationwide tours. “Wayt” has revealed itself as one of the most accomplished local debuts to be released in nz.

Roger has just released his second killer album 40 Miles. After tracking each of the songs personally in his own home studio, Roger pulled in the expertise of Venn Productions’ Dave Holmes (Gramsci, Jacob, Autozamm) to help him round it out. They then recruited Jasper de Roos to lay down some incredible drums and later, Oliver Emmitt for a trombone cameo.

It’s a collection of songs based on reflection, introspection, personal growth, the future – subjects not uncommon amongst the singer/songwriter set, but of course the difference between a diary entry and a pop song is… the music. It’s wry, classic, catchy and not without its nods to various formative influences from the 60’s and 70’s. It’s about arriving at a destination having measured a life’s journey in miles.
