Randy Rogers was born in
Cleburne, Texas. At the age of 6 years, he learned to play the piano from his grandmother, and later started playing the guitar. The Randy Rogers Band recorded its debut album,
Live at Cheatham Street Warehouse, at a music hall of the same name in
San Marcos, Texas. By 2002, the band was signed to the independent Downtime record label, on which they released the album
Like It Used to Be. It was around this time that the band began performing outside of San Marcos, primarily at Nutty Brown Cafe and Amphitheatre in nearby Dripping Springs, Texas. Two years later, the album
Rollercoaster was released, producing two minor entries on the
Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in early 2005. Rogers also co-wrote "Somebody Take Me Home", a song recorded by
Kenny Chesney, on his 2005 album,
The Road and the Radio. Several of the songs on
Rollercoaster were co-written by
Radney Foster, who also co-produced the album.
Just a Matter of Time, the band's first major-label album, was released on
Mercury Nashville Records in 2006. The band also released their self-titled album on September 23, 2008, also on Mercury Nashville Records. The first single "In My Arms Instead", was released in August. The band's fifth album,
Burning the Day, was released on August 24, 2010, on
MCA Nashville. The album's first single was "Too Late for Goodbye." It debuted at 55 on the U.S.
Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and after four weeks on the chart, it peaked at 47. "One More Sad Song" was released in late 2012. The song became the band's first Billboard Top 40 hit, and the first single from their sixth album,
Trouble.
