Tammy Rogers (born 1966) is an American country music singer, songwriter and musician. In addition to releasing three albums on the Dead Reckoning Records label (which she founded with Kieran Kane), she works as a studio musician, primarily on fiddle, violin and viola. She has also written a single for Terri Clark.
Although Tammy Rogers was born in Tennessee, she was raised in Irving, Texas. A graduate of Southern Methodist University, she joined Patty Loveless' backing band after graduation, then moved on to back Trisha Yearwood.
In the mid-1990s Rogers began working as a session musician, working with artists such as Kieran Kane (formerly of The O'Kanes). Kane and Rogers, along with Harry Stinson and Kevin Welch, founded Dead Reckoning Records in 1995. Her first album, In the Red, was released that year, followed by a self-titled album in 1996 and Speed of Love in 1999. She and Dean Miller co-wrote Terri Clark's 2000 single "A Little Gasoline".
In 2008, she helped to found the bluegrass band The SteelDrivers on fiddle and harmony vocals. The band signed to Rounder Records and released a self-titled debut in 2008. The album peaked at No. 57 on the U.S. Billboard Top Country Albums chart. The group was nominated for a Grammy award in 2009 for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for their song "Blue Side of the Mountain." In 2010, the group received two nominations for its second album, Reckless. The album has been nominated for both Best Bluegrass Album and Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for the song "Where Rainbows Never Die."
