Hailing from Santa Cruz, CA, Poi Rogers performs award winning American roots music, with Gerard Egan doubling on acoustic and steel guitar and Carolyn Sills on standup bass. Known for their dynamic musicianship and clever lyrics, the two create a wildly unique sound, with elements of western and gypsy swing, Hawaiian steel guitar and vivid storytelling.

They won the 2018 and 2024 Ameripolitan Award for Western Swing Group (as ‘The Carolyn Sills Combo’), and Carolyn was named the Academy of Western Artists' Western Swing Female Vocalist of 2020, thanks to their critically acclaimed study on Marty Robbins, ‘Return to El Paso.’  They performed at the 2024 Monterey Jazz Festival and are both Sacramento Western Swing Hall of Fame inductees. Poi Rogers’ second album, Whirligig, is out May 1st, 2026.
