Roger Rodier biography
Roger Rodier is a Québecois composer, singer and guitarist, that drew favorable comparisons to Nick Drake. He was born in Montréal and released only one album, called Upon Velveatur, in 1972 and two singles prior to that (1969) in collaboration with his buddy Germain Gautier. Rodier is really an unknown/forgotten artist, an obscure character, he didn't make public appearances often. When his album came out, he only made a couple of gigs, some alone, some in support of Procol Harum and Genesis.
After a moment he started to compose a new album, but nothing came out of his recent compositions. Since then, he slowly stopped playing music. He now lives in exile.
