Michele Roger

Coming from French and Irish roots, Ms Roger has a natural affinity and love for music of all sorts.

When she is not playing Celtic music, she is working  on contemporary music, as a contributing harpist, lyricist, and lead drummer.  For her own projects, Ms Roger is writing and composing a Big Band CD, as a tribute to her late Grandfather, who was an alto saxophone player. 

All proceeds from the sale of her forthcoming Big Band CD will benefit the Celtic Kettle Coffee House, a non-profit organization promoting art, music, and literature throughout Michigan communities.  This program will be the foundation for their new scholarship program for budding musicians and artists.

In her spare time, Ms Roger writes stories, music and poetry, and has combined these for a children's summer activity program, "Faerie Camp".

She is currently the band's Bodhran player, Harpist and backup vocalist.
