Soaring
toward the top of the Texas music scene, award-winner Roger Creager has
exhibited the perseverance and stick-with-it quality that is necessary when
blazing one's own trail in country music. By the time he was six years old,
Creager had set his heart on creating country music. Young Creager would sing at
the top of his lungs when by himself, and was often found acting like a
conductor throughout his school years. He began his formal musical training
while in second grade playing the piano, and picked up the guitar during high
school. During his teens he continued singing, mostly to himself due to shyness,
and played with songwriting but didn't share his efforts with others.
Still too shy to attack a musical career, Creager headed for college and earned
his business degree from Sam Houston State University. From there he headed
toward Aggieland and earned his degree in agriculture. Aggieland throbbed with
the heartbeat of Texas country music, and Creager thrived there. His songwriting
and singing were maturing, as was his confidence. He was 26 when he began
performing for audiences Yet, when it came to a career, he aimed at the security
of a steady paycheck and headed for corporate America. He worked as an
accountant in Houston, TX for several years. Then the longing to fulfill his
inner goals took hold and he went back to College Station, TX, rather than
Nashville, immersing himself in the Texas music revolution full-time.
His first year there, Creager played piano in a local band, and then formed a
cover band with Justin Pollard (who went on to play drums with
Pat Green). It was slow going for their band, and after Pollard left to join
Green, Creager decided to surge ahead and mold his own future.
His band, the Roger Creager Band, consists of Matt Baker (lead guitar),Troy
Brown (piano), Matt Medearis (drums), Jason Swindol (fiddle, mandolin), and
Stormy Cooper (bass guitar). Kirby Standley is their tour manager; Chris Leal,
the merchandising manager. Prior members of this close-knit band are Scott Owen
(guitar), Joel Schoepf (now with Jack Ingram), and Benny Pena.
Merging his musical talent with his business background, Creager also
successfully created his own publishing company, No Cable Music, for releasing
his own CDs. His traditional country music had a distinctive twist that
resonated with the crowds, and he was named Entertainer of the Year at the 2001
Texas Music Awards. Having Fun All Wrong (featuring "Everclear," the anthem for
Texas country music) and I Got the Guns both came out in 2002. An immediate
success, I Got the Guns debuted on the Lone Star Music Charts at number one,
reflecting Creager's ability to stir emotions across the genres.
Creager's third CD, Long Way to Mexico, was released in September, 2003, and
mixes the rhythms of country with Cajun, jazz, and Latin beats. He co-wrote some
of the songs with
Radney Foster, a top country music songwriter. His goal was to have the
album generate a swirling range of emotions in the listeners. This quality is
becoming a trademark for Creager.
Creager, a strong believer in setting goals, big goals, for himself, also
believes in constantly monitoring and rearranging those goals. He pours love,
enthusiasm, hard work and long hours into all aspects of his musical business,
with his main goal being to keep on doing exactly what he's doing right now.
He's living his dream -- soaring to the top of the Texas music scene.
