Dec 2 Interview: Roger Dale

Roger Dale is a Country Soul singer and songwriter based in the Washington, DC metro area. Originally from southeastern North Carolina, his sound is heavily-influenced by his southern roots and his love for authentic Country Music! Roger has a passion for writing songs that feature everything he loves about Country music: story-telling, heart, originality, and relatability. He truly enjoys connecting with his fans on the radio and during his live performances. Roger’s music is a unique mix of country, soul, and pop, inspired by his family, culture, and small-town roots. His warm, soulful vocals take his original compositions to the next level and draw his listeners in every time.

We had the pleasure of checking in with Roger on the occasion of the release of his new single “Carolina” and he was kind enough to respond to a few interview questions.
