The Same But Different
Cincinnati, OH, USA - November 23, 2013 - Singer/songwriter, Roger Yeardley, described as "one of Cincinnati's best known and most successful songwriters" in the Cinti. Enquirer; whose music has received international airplay and has been heard in movies and TV, is releasing his 3rd CD, The Same But Different.

Roger co-wrote one song with country veteran Bobby Mackey, which was inspired by Mackey's bar in Wilder, KY, which is purported by many to be haunted. The first 2 CDs were pure Cincinnati.

For those who appreciate virtuoso guitar playing, the CD has that. There are appearances by Cincinnati legends Marcos Sastre on guitar and Jerry Hedge on pedal steel. Nashville is represented by guitar-slingers Chris Casello and Jamie LaRitz. American guitar master Chris Casello, has been a staple at Roberts Western World on lower Broadway for years now with bands like Brazilbilly and the Chris Casello Trio (holding court every Sunday). Guitar master and multi-instrumentalist, Jamie LaRitz put down a number of guitar tracks in his D
