Sally Rogers interview - May 5, 2026

Mike Horyczun's in-studio guest on his monthly WPKN radio show in May was folk legend Sally Rogers. The interview aired on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at 1 p.m. The interview included cuts off Sally's ealy albums, including the Folk Album of the Year, "In the Circle of the Sun," and classics like "Thanksgiving Eve" and "The Touch of the Master's Hand". Sally also plays live in the studio. Sally Rogers began her career as a full-time touring musician in 1979 after encouragement from Stan Rogers, the legendary Canadian singer-songwriter. That was followed by an invitation from Garrison Keillor to appear on A Prairie Home Companion. She appeared more than a dozen times on that show, in the wake of 14 recordings. Her travels have taken her to Europe, China, Hungary and Poland, and across the United States. Much of Rogers’ time is spent teaching music in the public schools as an artist-in-residence. Her gorgeous singing voice, boundless energy and good humor are welcomed from coast to coast.(Sally Rogers photo credit John Williams).
