After Stephen’s 15 year tenure as music venue entrepreneur, came to a close, he spent months as a near recluse, rediscovering himself, his music and his unique voice that was no longer derivative of anyone else but his own deep and lasting life experiences.
“I started being really honest with who I was …I stopped asking what’s next and started being in the moment…enjoying the life that I am creating now with my family, my music and friends. I am very happy starting with a pure and clean slate.”
Stephen's 2019 album “Count It All Joy” was produced by veteran music producer Vic Steffens at Horizon Studios in Connecticut. Musicians on the album include his brother Jonny Rodgers (guitar/ vocals) & close friends Seth Adam (bass), Ben Dean (fiddle), Ricci Harke (vocals) & Fred Dileone (rhodes). The album contains 12 songs soaked in honesty, brokenness, healing & joy.
Stephen changed his name from "Steve Rodgers" to "Stephen Peter Rodgers" in 2021 due to a internet search conflicts
