A Texas native, Roger serves on the Legislative Committee, has lobbied with NSAI in Washington, D.C., and was instrumental in securing private health insurance for songwriters. Roger also serves as NSAI’s liaison to the Texas Songwriters Association. His songwriting credits include Trace Adkins’ “All Hat, No Cattle,” Kenny Chesney’s “She Gets That Way,” Randy Travis’ “That’s Where I Draw The Line,” Tanya Tucker’s “Fool, Fool Heart,” Nanci Griffith’s “I Knew Love,” Barbara Streisand’s “We Must Be Loving Right,” Gary Allan’s “Adobe Walls,” Patty Loveless’ “Born Again Fool” and George Strait’s “Need I Say More” and “We Must Be Loving Right.”

Roger will be leading a workshop on the "do's" and "don'ts" of breaking into the industry in a professional manner. There is a delicate way of approaching publishers and hit writers, while still remaining professional and Roger will be discussing this etiquette.
