Jonny Rodgers writes beautiful, quirky songs using guitars, tuned wine glasses, electronics and a unique chamber orchestra.
He is also a composer/producer, writing for film, and also chamber, orchestral and choral music for concert.
His early years were spent writing, touring and recording with his brother Steve Rodgers in the indie band Mighty Purple.
Jonny combines disparate influences and a compositional sensibility into his latest music. His album The Aviary began as a composed live show with a 9-piece chamber orchestra featuring unusual elements, such as Tuned Wine Glasses and Steel Drum.
Jonny studied with composer Padma Newsome (Clogs, The National) and has played in NYC's classical-crossover band Awry (now My Brightest Diamond), Son Lux, Faux Fix, The Soldier Story, Todd Reynolds, Sxip Shirey, Arturo en el Barco, and many others.
