About the One Mouth Band

Sam Rogers is called the "One Mouth Band" for good reason. He makes all the sounds of a band by himself -- and often all at once! Whether it’s bass, guitar, horns, or the ever-popular drums and percussion, it all comes from this one amazing mouth. A genuinely entertaining performer, the One Mouth Band strives to make each show interactive and memorable for the whole audience. The musical genres you hear in just one of his performances can seamlessly range from jazz to rock to funk to blues to reggae, each with instrumental imitations and musical improvisations that will astound.

The One Mouth Band is more than a simple sound-alike or novelty act, he is an award-winning musician with his own definitive style. Having performed and recorded with over a dozen A Cappella groups and bands (including Roy Rogers, The Irrationals, Audio Radiance, Till Dawn), Rogers is happy to display his unique talents with the unfettered, raw freedom of being vocally naked!

An otherwise well-behaved child, Rogers has been making noises all his life. Shortly after founding and directing a successful local teen A Cappella group, he studied music with the legendary arranger/pianist Phil Mattson at The School for the Music Vocations. There Rogers sang with dozens of vocal groups, trying everything from Barbershop to Vocal Jazz to R&B to Classical singing, as well as performing regularly with a local cover band. He now holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications (Media & Music Arts emphasis) from Sonoma State University. Since college, Rogers has studied privately with several founding members of Bobby McFerrin’s Voicestra (Raz Kennedy, Rhiannon, Joey Blake, David Worm). He first started singing solo A Cappella in 1995, and started performing seriously as One Mouth Band in 2001.

As well as being a Vocal Musician, Rogers is also an Actor, Voice Talent, eLearning Specialist, and Webmaster. He lives with his girlfriend in Forest Knolls, California. He performs as The One Mouth Band around the world, and frequently in the San Francisco Bay Area.
