Two friends, who share a similar experience of cultural duality, came together to make some music they would enjoy hearing. Composer/musician Yusef Quotah and arts writer Maria Seda-Reeder have been furiously writing, singing, mixing and playing music in their (very) spare time--because life is short and they wanna carpe all the diem they can get.

Mark Rogers & Mary Byrne

website  | facebook

"The more I listened, the more I became entranced. ... There enters an unnameable radiance shimmering out from [Mark Rogers'] repeated chords and fingerpickings. ... One recognizes all the signals and traditions of the genre but is simultaneously struck by the originality and aesthetic timbre of what's occurring. ... Oh, and the label Rogers & Byrne are on, the Important Records imprint? It also hosts Nels Cline, Jim Jarmusch, Anthony Braxton, and other high-profile cult names, home to quite a few impressive artists…and when you lay an ear to 'I Line my Days Along your Weight,' you'll understand why Mark Rogers & Mary Byrne were invited in."
