November 2025 - Marcos & Roger Duo Reunites

After a few years’ hiatus, Roger Yeardley and Marcos Sastre, recording, performing, and radio host partners, are back to performing live music.

Marcos Sastre is known as founder of one of Cincinnati’s finest bands, The Bluebirds, as one of Cincinnati’s premier guitarists, and for his Cammy-Award-winning work on the “Shades of Blue” CD series (which he co-produced and performed with Larry Goshorn, and which featured many area blues musicians (and includes a song of Roger’s)).

Roger & Marcos’ live performances draw from a long history of interacting with each other and live audiences, and from a large pool of their own songs and a wide range of cover tunes that they have been performing over the same period.

Louisville Performance - Nov. 2023

My first gig since the pandemic, in the Kentucky International Convention Center, at the annual conference of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) in Louisville, KY (November 2023). I'm a SETAC member, and presented some of my research at the conference as well. I don't know that I'm the first to do this, but there can't have been too many folks that have presented the results of scientific research and performed music at one of these events. Thanks for having me, SETAC. It was fun to play live again!

The Same But Different:

The 3rd Balance Productions CD made the list of "Great Local Releases of 2013" (Cincinnati CityBeat, Dec.25-31, 2013)

“really incredible! .. Americana .. yes .. but timeless! the guitars are simply perfect!! ... and the songs .. good selection! ... it's all a bit like Rockpile (Dave Edmunds/Nick Lowe) meets Sir Douglas ........... very fine CD!” - Lord Litter (Germany, whose program on Radio Marabu is broadcast throughout Europe):

..."Long time indie recording artist is always eclectic but focuses this time on songs in a country style for much of this highly enjoyable album. This ain't corny, this ain't even hip... this is just solid songwriting and musicianship.". - Don Campau (KKUP, KRFL, Radio Marabu)
