Our Mission -
"Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to all people." Mark 16:15
For years Steve Rogers wanted to be in business for himself. However, he wanted a Christian-base business where he could build long-lasting relationships, make an impact in peoples’ lives, and most of all see Jesus Christ exalted.
In October of 2009, God gave Steve an idea, –“"Start a Christian artist booking agency.”" Within two weeks of this idea he was in business. Beginning with a laptop computer, a cell phone and pack of business cards, he started making cold-calls to local churches and other Christian venues.
Since then, he has built some awesome relationships with many different people in the industry like: music festival directors, radio stations, booking agents, artist managers, magazine editors, promoters, artists, all types of pastors in all denominations and a host of others. Steve makes these comments, “"This has been all God. All I have done is some foot-work, and God has opened the doors that I otherwise could not have opened for myself. For this, I give Him the glory!”"
Steve has heard the remarks, “the Christian music industry is broken; because the industry has allowed business to be the focus rather than ministry. Steve states, “"Although it is a business, the artists I partner with want to help change the industry back to what its supposed to be - –MINISTRY. I also believe as this happens, we will see God give us more opportunities to use our talents to minister to the body of Christ and to an unsaved world."”
In a very short time, God birthed a company from a simple idea, and He has turned the ROGERS AGENCY LLC into a full-service booking agency that is making its mark in the Christian music industry.
Steve and his wife Alyson live in Alexander City, Alabama with their two daughters Morgan and Leighann. Steve is available for speaking engagements/emcee festivals.
We would be so honored to partner with you in booking your future events. God bless you!
Dino! It’s amazing how one name can evoke so many fond memories for so many people. Around the world Dino’s music has inspired, entertained, and brought joy to hundreds of thousands of people. And yet Dino is always quick to assert the source of his talent and inspiration in a different name—Jesus! The name above all names!
“I’m a Christian first, and then I’m an entertainer,” Dino says. “We always have fun at my concerts, but salvation is the bottom line.” And his concerts and ministry engagements prove that to be true as he always presents the gospel message in the midst of displaying his truly spectacular mastery of the piano. “I always feel we should be the best in what we do in presenting Christ,” he says.
For the last 17 years, Dino has entertained audiences in Branson, Missouri, with his highly acclaimed production, “Dino’s Christmas Spectacular,” one of Branson’s best-attended Christmas shows. And he and his wife, Cheryl, continue to host the weekly television show, “Dino” which has aired for the past 16 years on the TBN Network.
DINO's 24 KARROT CAKE - www.24karrot.com
A few years ago, at my home in Branson, MO, I went into the kitchen and cooked up a heavenly carrot cake. Baking is something I have loved to do since watching my parents create magnificent recipes over the course of my life. It is my second greatest passion, the first being music. My friends Tony Orlando, Bobby Vinton and Daniel O'Donnel would come over to the house and sample my new creation. They loved it and recommended I market the cake to the public. At first I wasn't interested because my career takes so much of my time. It was my wife Cheryl who encouraged me to follow this passion and venture into the business of baking. In 2007 24karrot was born. Since then, I have produced several other delicious cake recipes and opened two 24karrot locations in Hollister and Branson Missouri. We have shipped cakes to celebrities such as Pauletta and Denzel Washington, BeBe Winans, Mike Huckabee and the beloved Billy Graham, to name a few. What an amazing adventure! Thank you to all who have made 24Karrot a success. I hope you will come visit one of our bakeries in the near future! Until then, enjoy a delectable variety of desserts ready to order and shipped to your door.
SOUL SISTER SALLY infuses funk, jazz, and blues into a classic rock sound that is hard to describe but easy to love. Formed in 2006 by Andy Williams (former drummer for the Grammy Award winning band Casting Crowns) and his wife Kelly, the funk/fusion sound of Soul Sister Sally is created by Andy (Percussion), Kelly (lead vocals), Darren Buckner (lead guitar), and Chris Forslund (bass), former bass player for John Waller. Kelly's powerhouse vocals pull from deep in her soul and rise to the rafters, reminiscent of the early jazz singers of the '50's. The band's sound comes from a variety of influences, including Kool & the Gang, James Brown, Whiteheart, & Celine Dion. In 2008, Soul Sister Sally released a debut EP. Green Grass (Mama Said There'd Be Days Like These) features five original songs along with a contemporary arrangement of the "How Marvelous".
SSS has a Self Titled EP and has released a new radio single called "Unmask Me", which is receiving national air play. In addition, the band was recently announced as winner of the 17th Annual 2009 Billboard World Song Contest for their empowering song "Destine to Survive".
SSS went back to the studio in 2011 and recorded their first full-length LP "READY TO GO". The album is getting attention from people like Mark Hall from Casting Crowns, and national publishers in the music industry. It is currently available for purchase on ITunes.
David Paul Brooks (DPB), positive rap artist, song writer and fabulous entertainer, is establishing a new and positive image in the recording industry.

Noah Cleveland is a singer/songwriter with a very powerful message that cuts through the soul to impact everyone who listens. Noah brings a very rich and smooth sound to the table in christian music. He is very passionate about what he does and everyone that has heard the music recognizes the passion right away. If you like the sounds of Chris Daughtry from American Idol, Darius Rucker from Hootie and the Blowfish, Lifehouse, or The Goo Goo Dolls, you will love Noah right away. His early rock influences like Matchbox 20, Creed, Nickelback, and even Howie Day shine through in his music.
When Cleveland began singing and writing songs, everyone that heard his music knew there was something special about him. The way that he could awe the listeners was remarkable and continues to do the same today. He describes what he does as a very simple answer: "the anointing from God." The vision that Noah has is to lead people into the presence of God. He wants to see all generations “touch and experience God." Enjoying music and becoming emotional when hearing a song is one thing, but seeing people change because of an experience of God is a focal point of this ministry. It’s great to hear that people enjoy the album, but they want to see change in the listeners.
Noah has shared the stage with artists like David Crowder, Sanctus Real, John Waller, Sidewalk Prophets, Illuminate, Warren Barfield, Todd Agnew, Barlow Girl, Steve Fee, and Chris Sligh from American Idol. They have also ministered with Bluetree who wrote the song “God of this City” and Laura Story who wrote the song “Indescribable." He has also played at The Potter’s House, which is led by Bishop T.D. Jakes and World Changers International, which is led by Creflo Dollar. Since the release of the first record, Cleveland has ministered through concerts, conferences, camps, and retreats in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Mississippi, Louisiana, Illinois, Missouri, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, New York, Arkansas, Texas, and did two different tours in Canada.
Chelsie Boyd was like most other little girls who carried around a hairbrush disguised as a microphone she loved to sing and put on a show for family and friends. Her uniqueness quickly brought her into the spotlight, although when her performances were noticed to be more than typical three-year-old jumbles. By age 11, Chelsie had teamed with young producer, Jason Hoard (lead guitarist for THIRD DAY), to record her first album. Two more followed over the next few years and she started to garner some industry attention. She put a band together, started touring and even got some radio airplay.
Now, at 18, Chelsie Boyd is back with a fourth installment and her stage is set. With a sound reminiscent of Plumb and vocals in the vein of Christy Nockels, Chelsie Boyd not only has the talent, but she also has the life experience to back up what she’s singing. Having written or co-written six of the 10 songs on Image, she shares her story with urgency and a desire to walk alongside others rather than to sit back and watch a repeat in someone else’s life.
Chelsie ministers at music festivals, church services, youth rallies, etc. Call us today to book this awesome young lady!

Too many times, we as representations of Christ are bored, numb, tired, and purposeless. But, we were not intended to be this way. Christ looked at humanity and said this bold statement, "You are the Light of the world." The Church is to be the most tangible and genuine representation of the character and persona of God.

Eric Gwin is a Vocal Musician who has been writing, recording, and performing A Cappella music for over 20 years. Often referred to by his listeners as a "Progressive Multi-Vocalist" and "The Voice of A Cappella Modern Rock", Eric combines multiple layers of harmony and unique human percussion sounds with dazzling studio effects, creating modern rock music with a positive message.
Eric has built a reputation on the basis of being unique, even within a genre of music that is considered "out of the ordinary" in and of itself. A solo artist is not something that is very common within the world of a cappella music, yet Eric manages to make it work somehow. Perhaps it is because being an a cappella solo artist is just another step in a long history of "uniqueness" for him.
In 2001, after many years of singing in various a cappella groups, he released his first solo CD, a 6-track EP entitled "Refuge". Apart from his daughter's "in-utero" heartbeat on the last track, every voice and sound on the CD was performed by Eric, and all the sounds were vocally or anatomically produced. In late 2005, Eric released his first full-length solo album, "The Calling", which took his a cappella musical approach to new heights, venturing into the world of modern rock, R&B, and even hip-hop.
In 2007, Eric stepped back into the studio and spent 8 weeks writing and recording yet another unique project: an album of original Christmas music, entitled "Fresh Hope". This project was a musical departure for Eric, moving away from the percussion and effects-driven sound of his first two projects and opting for a more “stripped-down” sound... just Eric and a microphone.
Eric's latest album, "Frame of Mind" (released in April, 2011), once again finds him breaking new ground in the world of a cappella music, but also showing a growing maturity in his songwriting, especially in the area of his lyrics. The songs on "Frame of Mind" show him getting more personal in his lyrics, covering all aspects of the human condition from depression to love to addiction and beyond.
Eric is a firm believer in the idea that we’re all here for a purpose. He believes that his purpose is to use music to bring people together, all the while pushing the "sonic envelope" as far as he can by creating music that is truly original, innovative, and unlike any you've ever heard. By listening to any of his solo releases, one can tell that Eric is completely within his element musically: a sound that is uniquely his own.
Embers In Ashes is a 5-piece band out of Birmingham, Alabama that churns out a progressive brand of melodic rock. Heavy on the vocal harmonies and racing guitar riffs, Ember In Ashes' style is a combination of many musical elements that produces a nicely interwoven mixture of sound with catchy guitar hooks rising to the forefront to set the pace. The uniqueness of this southern bred 5 piece continues with each member's cultural diversity, backgrounds in music, and experiences. The lyrics are raw and from the heart, the guitars tasteful, and the bass and drums drive the songs forward. There is no doubt these five warriors are on to bigger things. Fresh off the Voices in the Night Tour with I Am Empire (Tooth & Nail), Silverline (EMG), and Distal (Transform Music Group), Embers In Ashes is currently busy shaking things loose in their five state region, but will be heading on a tour of the United States by summer of 2011.
