Take the enthusiasm and playfulness of early New Orleans rhythm and blues, add to that the bright yet cynical wit of Ben Folds Five, the rock meets jazz sensibilities of early Steely Dan, and the mocking humor that runs through the works of Professor Longhair, Allen Toussaint, Earl King and Ernie K Doe, and you begin to describe the music of Davis Rogan.

"While you might initially be drawn to Davis’ music because of his
hysterical stories and fierce attitude, you’ll end up sticking around for more because it turns out he’s a great pianist and songwriter with a real talent for dragging New Orleans musical heritage through the keyhole into the future." Blake Leyh, music supervisor, The Wire

“…channeling Brian Wilson, Al Kooper, Frank Zappa, NRBQ and the Bonzo Dog Band alongside Fats Domino and Eddie Bo.” John Swensen

“…it’s classic New Orleans R & B in spirit but everything from Charlie Parker to Sun Ra, from Todd Rundgren to the White Stripes, in execution” OffBeat Magazine review of “The Once and Future DJ”

“Davis Rogan is an idiot savant. Though I think they just call them savants now. I'm a big fan.” Sarah Silverman
