Spicing Things Up by Meika Yates Hines
Variety is the spice of life, as well as the creative zest that saves music from the ranks of the bland and stale. With a keen appreciation for mixing things up, Tulsa musician Roger Jaeger seasons his pop rock with Indian classical sitar and funk. “I’m really big on creating a strong performance atmosphere, which means that I not only write songs but also craft them – working to draw people into them using variance in volumes and rhythms and chords and interesting lyrical ideas,” he says. To expand his musical horizons beyond the regional stomping ground that has so far included Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Illinois and Tennessee, Jaeger spent a healthy stint studying classical music in Pune, India. While there, he was his Brahman teacher’s fi rst male student, and that experience has enabled him to continue his sitar playing as a side project that he incorporates into some of the songs he has written. Jaeger’s songs derive from the roots of his personal trials and tribulations – case in point: a favorite of his, “Dragons,” which he began writing in 2007 after returning home from India. “I had left college and my friends to go to India, and lacked any sense of bold direction from that point on,” Jaeger recalls. “I had completed a verse and a half but was unable to fi nish the rest because I did not yet see any resolution in my life. After walking through some things, receiving inner healing and rediscovering my purpose, I revisited the song and fi nally wrote a chorus. It was a major breakthrough moment for me.” Jaeger is currently in the process of getting a full band project going, which he hopes will take off sometime next year. He anticipates recording a second album to follow his solo debut, Sunrise. He also plans on hitting the road and networking to keep the buzz going for fans and potential record labels. “I’ve learned so much about the music business in Oklahoma – like how to deal with venues, how to work with other bands, how to seek out good help and when to be cautious around smooth-talking entrepreneurs seeking to make a buck off you,” Jaeger says. “You can’t just play gigs and you can’t just write songs. You have to get out and meet people, get on social networking sites and make yourself known.”
