Remastered Vinyl Released September 27,2024!

In 1976, Rogers recorded his debut album, Fogarty’s
Cove, launching a career that remains a vibrant and
engaging audience even today, 41 years after his death.
The album is entirely based around Maritime living
and contains his most famous sea shanty “Barrett’s
Privateers,” sung acapella with The Friends of Fiddler’s
Green providing the voices of the ship’s rowdy crew. The
album established the two common themes found within
Stan’s lifelong work: life on the sea and the endangered
traditions of a specifically Canadian experience.
This album includes fan favourites “Make And Break
Harbour” and “Giant.” The recording has remastered
and is reissued by Borealis Records.

It is testament to Stan Rogers’ impact as a songwriter
that 40 years after his sudden tragic death in 1983 at the
young age of 33 – people young and old are still singing
his songs and celebrating his influence. Stan Rogers
received the Diplôme d’honneur from the Canadian
Conference of the Arts, and in 2019, he posthumously
joined the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, adding to
his list of accolades. In 2021, Canada Post paid tribute to
his legacy by featuring him on a postage stamp series.
Each year, folk enthusiasts from across North America
gather at the Stan Rogers Folk Festival in Canso, Nova
Scotia, to celebrate its namesake. The profound impact
of Stan Rogers’ music and lyrics continues to inspire and
influence musicians worldwide.
