Description
In the early 1980's, James Rogers was trying to land a recording contract and was advised to enter a talent contest at a theme park in the Smokies called Silver Dollar City. Out of 2,000 contestants, James won the 1983 National Mountain Music Festival at Silver Dollar City in Pigeon Forge, TN which would later become Dollywood, his place to entertain for over thirty years. Later, the Dollywood corporation became his business partners in Music Mansion in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee from 1993 -1998. During this time, James earned the title of "the number one most attended show in the Smokies" and won several awards, including the Peoples' Choice Award for "BEST SHOW" 1997 and 1998, "BEST THEATER" 1996, 1997, and 1998, and "BEST ENTERTAINER" 1997 and 1998. Now, after retiring from Dollywood, James is on the road, sharing his music and stories featuring tributes to the Armed Forces, the American Bald Eagle and other causes that bring the listener closer to God and country.
