Roger Landes
Biography
After playing guitar in several “garage” bands in his teens, Roger studied the classical guitar in college. His initial interest in Irish music was sparked in 1981 by a recording of The Chieftains. He soon obtained a bouzouki and set about learning the intricacies of Irish and Scots dance tunes and accompaniment. In the summer of 1982 Roger helped form the popular Celtic group Scartaglen, which was to last for the next 12 years. He appeared on the group’s three recordings: Scartaglen, The Middle Path and Last Night’s Fun.
