40 Miles

Roger Greenaway is one of the most original musicians currently writing and performing in New Zealand. His blend of timeless, and sometimes experimental, guitar rock and thematic songwriter pop has created some very moving songs.

Roger released his debut album 'Wayt' on his own Sunshine Productions label in November of 2004. He followed it up with two successful nationwide club tours. In 2007 Roger releases his second album '40 Miles'. After tracking each of the songs and recording a range of instruments personally in his own home studio, Roger pulled in the expertise of Venn Productions' Dave Holmes (Gramsci, Jacob) to help him round it out. They then recruited Jasper de Roos to lay down some incredible drums and later, Oliver Emmitt for a trombone cameo.

'40 Miles' is a collection of songs based on reflection, introspection, personal growth, the future - subjects not uncommon amongst the singer / songwriter set, but of course the difference between a diary entry and a pop song is... the music. It's wry, catchy and not without its nods to various formative influences from the 60s and 70s. It's about arriving at a destination having measured a life's journey in miles.
