Hello friends! Guitar playing singer-songwriter, Roger Blevins Jr. is my guest for episode 1477! You might know Roger from his long time band Mingo Fishtrap, or his Blevins Guitar Company. Roger is currently recovering and rehabilitating from a three-year bout with tongue cancer that ended with him having to get 80% of his tongue removed last summer. It's been a long road back to the stage, but Roger played some songs a couple of weeks ago at the 11:59 Songwriter Group show at Saxon Pub and he's playing a songwriter-in-the-round with Ray Prim, Tom Meny, and Dan Dyer on June 11th at The '04 Center. Go to rogerblevinsmusic.com for show info, music, and more. We have an incredibly inspiring conversation about Roger's journey, having an amazing and supportive partner in his wife, his gratitude, building guitars, relearning to speak and sing and much more. I had a great time getting to know Roger. I'm sure you will too. Let's get down!
