Blind Melon at Woodstock ‘94, by Danny Clinch

“He had taken his girlfriend’s dress and underwear and performed in those and her barrettes. He was wearing eyeliner and he looked really good…We spent the whole weekend there. It wasn’t like they played and left. We all hung out and had a pretty great time.”

Rogers Stevens (born 31 October 1970) is an American guitarist, best known for being a founding member of the alternative rock band Blind Melon.[1] He has also been a member of the bands Extra Virgin and The Tender Trio, and he is an attorney.[2]

In 1988, Rogers and Smith left Mississippi for Los Angeles, California to pursue their musical interests.[5] Once in Los Angeles, they played in many bands together that did not last more than a few weeks. It was during one of these stints that Brad met future Blind Melon rhythm guitarist Christopher Thorn.[5] Rogers called Glen Graham to come out to Los Angeles to be the band's drummer. After auditioning many singers the band met fellow member Shannon Hoon at a party through a mutual friend. During his audition, he played his song "Change" on acoustic guitar, and the band immediately picked him.[5]

With the band's lineup and name set, the band was signed to Capitol Records in 1991. Capitol Records released their self-titled debut album, Blind Melon, in September 1992.[7] The track "No Rain" became a smash hit, and brought Blind Melon into the spotlight, and causing their debut album to eventually go platinum four times over. Blind Melon spent 1993 on tour, opening for acts such as Neil Young and Lenny Kravitz, and starting in 1994, they began headlining their own tour. Around this time, Blind Melon was nominated Grammys for Best New Artist and Best Rock Performance.[7]
