Debi Rogers: Multidisciplinary Artist, Teaching Artist

Debi Rogers is a colorful Celtic singer, musician, storyteller, actress, recording artist and artist-in-resident. She has been awarded grants through the North Dakota Council on the Arts’ Apprenticeship program, learning traditional Irish songs in Gaelic (the Irish language), céilí (Irish social) dance and the rare traditional wire-strung harp known as the cláirseach.

Her third recording, Faerie Harp, is a delightful array of Celtic melodies and stories from the British Isles woven together in an aural tapestry that conjures images of a land steeped in magical enchantment. Debi hosted a weekly folk music show on ND Public Radio, sang a soprano solo with the Bismarck-Mandan Civic Chorus on the stage of Carnegie Hall and was an artistic ambassador for North Dakota in Iceland. Debi spent three weeks in Japan with the Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program, attended Scoil na gCláirseach - Summer School of Early Irish Harp in Kilkenny, Ireland, and was a featured solo artist on the recent six-part Prairie Public Television series titled North Dakota Musicians.
