notes

In 2003 Roger’s original song “Gypsy Rider” won an honorable mention from the John Lennon Songwriting Contest which is on the “Partners in Crime" CD. A compilation of nine songs. 4 original songs and 5 songs by Billy Joel, "Captain Jack" and "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant". Elton John's, "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me". Don McLean's "American Pie" and Harry Chapin's "Taxi".

A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Roger has been performing for over thirty years and at the age of 19 was opening concerts with national recording artists such as Pat Benetar, Robert Palmer, Bruce Hornsby, Seals & Croft and Hall & Oates, to name a few and continues to do so.

In March of 1999, Roger was invited to perform before the members of the United States Congress and their families at the Bipartisan Congressional Retreat held in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Performing both on piano and acoustic guitar, Roger commands a varied repertoire offering a wide range of performance styles in English as well as Spanish.

During his performance the audience becomes a major part of the show. Choosing selections from a request list that contains over two hundred titles. From sing-a-longs, to emotionally charged ballads they become woven by Roger's ability to masterfully intertwine a highly polished level of artistry, along with an easy going, light-hearted sense of humor, into a powerful, charismatic stage presence.

Although Roger performs the songs of many contemporary artists such as Elton John, Billy Joel, the highlights of his shows are undoubtedly his stirring, heartfelt originals. Delivered with seemingly effortless control by a voice that covers over three octaves, his music and lyrics offer introspective and powerful insights into not only the soul of this artist, but of the world around us.

Roger tours extensively each year in resort areas and colleges throughout the country. He has been performing regularly in Key West for several years, at Sloppy Joe's, The Bull, The Hogs Breath, Captain Tony's and The Casa Marina. This versatility allows him to tour extensively each year in Europe, as well as in resort areas and colleges throughout the U.S. He is also a regular performer in Las Vegas and on board the ships of various cruise lines throughout the Bahamas, Caribbean and the Mediterranean.

Feeling equally at home either in the mountains of Colorado or the beaches of the Bahamas, quoting Roger, he says: "One thing's for sure, as long as God sees fit to grant me these gifts he has bestowed upon me, in my heart, voice and soul, you can count on me to share them and paint the world with song."

  • Have not heard as of yet
    author: Pat & Linda

    We intend to purchase your CD(s) as we so enjoyed you in the Windjammer Lounge aboard NCLs Sun on the Panama Canal Cruise in Sept of 2003. Loved your music and presentation very much. You may remember us, we somehow were befriended by the strange woman and her husband who harassed you one evening telling you, "You are no Barry Manilow" and she continued to badger you until you put down your guitar and quietly removed yourself from the situation. A gentleman you were, not sure if I would have been quite as nice, you were so kind to us when we apologized for her behavior(still have not figured out why we apologized and she never did???, maybe because we were so very embarassed by her drunkeness), enjoy receiving your emails with your updates. Keep up the good work, hope to see you on another NCL cruise.

  • Hello From An Admirer
    author: Darlene Arceneaux

    Hi Roger, I heard you last July on NCL's Norgwegian Sun in the lounge and truly enjoyed the musical experience! I purchased your Partners in Crime CD from you that night. I just want you to know that today, hearing your music and that of Billy Joel's truly blessed me and lifted my sprits. I have been home ill since Saturday 5/10, and cabin fever is really setting in......so I used music therapy to lift me up....AND it did. Hearing you brought back many pleasant memories. Please let me know re: the availability of your next CD and add me to your mail list.

    Roger, I want to let you know how much I enjoyed watching and listening to you perform. You really made my whole trip and now that I am home and can listen to your CD, it is like an extended vacation. As much as I am a fan of Billy Joel and Elton John and the fact that I love to sing (not well - by no means), the songs on your CD that you and Marty Gassner wrote are outstanding. Thank you so much for having the CD's available for purchase.

  • Just Like Sitting at the Piano with the Piano Man!
    author: Colleen Gilmartin

    One of our fondest memories was of Roger Hernandez. He is a great entertainer and we loved his music and his sense of humor. As life-long New Yorkers and great fans of Billy Joel, listening to him play and sing was being able to sit right at the piano with "The Piano Man" himself. We bought his CD and play it often.

  • Loved the CD
