Rogers then formed [[Fogarty's Cove Music]], and bought Barnswallow during the production of ''Turnaround'', allowing him to release his own albums. [[posthumous work|Posthumously]], additional albums were released. <!---Significant passage about his musical development required here-----> Sung in his rich baritone, Rogers' songs are often said to have a "[[Celtic music|Celtic]]" feel which is due, in part, to his frequent use of [[DADGAD]] guitar tuning. He regularly used his [[William Laskin|William 'Grit' Laskin]]-built [[12-string guitar]] in his performances. His best-known songs include "[[Northwest Passage (song)|Northwest Passage]]", "[[Barrett's Privateers]]", "[[The Mary Ellen Carter]]", "[[Make and Break Harbour]]", "[[The Idiot (song)|The Idiot]]", "[[Fogarty's Cove]]", and "[[White Squall (song)|White Squall]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://stanrogers.net/about/stan-rogers/|title=Stan Rogers Biographies|date=September 21, 2020|website=Fogarty's Cove Music}}</ref> ==Death== {{Main|Air Canada Flight 797}} Rogers died alongside 22 other passengers most likely of [[smoke inhalation]] on June 2, 1983, while travelling on [[Air Canada Flight 797]] (a [[McDonnell Douglas DC-9]]) after performing at the [[Kerrville Folk Festival]]. The airliner was flying from [[Dallas]], [[Texas]], to [[Toronto]] and [[Montreal]] when a fire from an unknown ignition source within the vanity or toilet shroud of the aft washroom forced it to make an [[emergency landing]] at the [[Greater Cincinnati Airport]] in northern Kentucky. There were initially no visible flames, and after attempts to extinguish the fire were unsuccessful, smoke filled the cabin. Upon landing, the plane's doors were opened, allowing the five crew and 18 of the 41 passengers to escape, but approximately 90 seconds into the evacuation the oxygen rushing in from outside caused a [[flash fire]].<ref>{{cite book |url=http://www.airdisaster.com/reports/ntsb/AAR86-02.pdf |author=Bureau of Accident Investigation |title=NTSB/AAR-86/02 |date=January 31, 1986 |publisher=[[National Transportation Safety Board]] |location=Washington, D.C. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060322014736/http://www.airdisaster.com/reports/ntsb/AAR86-02.pdf |archive-date=March 22, 2006 |url-status=usurped |via=AirDisaster.Com}}</ref> Soon after his death, stories began to circulate about Rogers' final moments. Amber Frost claimed: {{Block quote|text=Before most likely succumbing to smoke inhalation, he used his last moments to guide other passengers to safety with his booming voice. I've heard more than one Canuck proudly declare that for all Rogers' odes to Canada, he was never more Canadian than in his final words: "Let me help you."}} These accounts cannot be verified, as the [[National Transportation Safety Board]] ran a full investigation of the incident and interviewed every single survivor, and there is no firsthand account, official or unofficial, of such an occurrence.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Winick |first=Stephen |date=2017-01-30 |title=Murder Ballad Monday {{!}} How Legends Are Made: Stan Rogers |url=https://singout.org/stan-rogers-flowers-bermuda/ |access-date=2024-05-20 |website=Sing Out! |language=en-US}}</ref> Stan Rogers most likely died before the doors were even opened, due to smoke inhalation from the fire. Regardless, the circumstances of Rogers' death still circulate as folklore.<ref name=":0" /> As his official biographer [[Christopher Gudgeon]] writes: {{Blockquote|text=At the funeral, it is said, a statue of the Virgin Mary began to vibrate. A lone eagle soared above the gravesite and landed on the casket just as it was about to be lowered. Since in truth there was no burial at all, it's clear that some of these rumors are the product of overactive imaginations. From the ashes of flight 797, a new figure emerged: Saint Stan. He was an extension of Rogers' Maritime Stan persona, only rougher and saltier still, with a heart of gold, a golden voice, and not a spot on him. Garnet calls it the 'Elvisization' of his brother. In death, we discovered Stan Rogers, bigger than ever.}} His ashes were scattered off the north-eastern shore of [[Nova Scotia|Nova Scotia, Canada]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Baird |first1=Craig |title=Canada EHX |url=https://canadaehx.com/2023/05/23/stan-rogers/ |website=Canada EHX |date=May 23, 2023 |access-date=7 April 2024}}</ref> ==Legacy== {{in popular culture|date=November 2023}} Rogers' legacy includes his recordings, songbook, and plays for which he was commissioned to write music. His songs are still frequently covered by other musicians, including children's performer [[Raffi (musician)|Raffi]] on his 1977 out-of-print album [[Adult Entertainment (album)|Adult Entertainment]], and are perennial favourites at Canadian [[campfires]] and [[song circles]]. Members of Rogers' band, including his brother [[Garnet Rogers]], continue to be active performers and form a significant part of the fabric of contemporary Canadian folk music. Following his death, he was nominated for the [[Juno Awards of 1984|1984 Juno Awards]] in the category for [[Juno Award for Artist of the Year|Best Male Vocalist]]. That same year, he was posthumously awarded the Diplôme d’Honneur of the [[Canadian Conference of the Arts]].<ref name="CCArts">{{cite web |title=Diplôme d'honneur: Past Recipients |url=http://ccarts.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Diplome-dhonneur-recipients-2011.pdf |publisher=Canadian Conference of the Arts |access-date=February 28, 2019 |archive-date=August 7, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200807104010/http://ccarts.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Diplome-dhonneur-recipients-2011.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 1994, his posthumous live album ''[[Home in Halifax]]'' was likewise nominated for [[Juno Award for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year – Solo|Best Roots and Traditional Album]]. His widow, Ariel, continues to oversee his estate and legacy. His music and lyrics have been featured in numerous written publications and films. For instance, his lyrics have appeared in school poetry books,{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}} taking their place alongside acknowledged classics. His song "[[Northwest Passage (song)|Northwest Passage]]" was featured in the last episode of the TV show ''[[Due South]]'', his songs "[[Barrett's Privateers]]" and "[[Watching the Apples Grow]]" having been previously featured. "Barrett's Privateers" has also been used extensively in promotion ads for [[Alexander Keith's Brewery|Alexander Keith's]] ale. In the 2005 [[CTV television network|CTV]] [[made-for-TV movie]] on the life of [[Terry Fox]], Rogers' "[[Turnaround (song)|Turnaround]]" is the music over the closing shot. As the movie ends, Fox is depicted, alone, striding up a hill, while the lyric "And yours was the open road. The bitter song / The heavy load that I'll never share, tho' the offer's still there / Every time you turn around," forges a link between these Canadian icons.<ref>{{Citation |title=Terry 2005 (Terry Fox Movie) | date=August 14, 2023 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZNR5vQc5Vc |access-date=2024-03-06 |language=en}}</ref> Many of his songs on the albums ''[[Northwest Passage (album)|Northwest Passage]]'' and ''[[From Fresh Water]]'' refer to events in Canadian history. [[Adrienne Clarkson]], who, prior to serving as the [[Governor General of Canada]] from 1999 to 2005, had worked for the [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]], highlighted Rogers' career in a 1989 television documentary called ''[[One Warm Line]]'' on [[CBC Television]]; she also quoted Rogers in her investitural address.{{Citation needed|date=July 2019}} When CBC's [[Peter Gzowski]] asked Canadians to pick an alternate national anthem, "Northwest Passage" was the overwhelming choice.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Enright |first1=Michael |title=Stan Rogers: Folk Singer, Storyteller, Proud Canadian Part 2 |url=http://www.cbc.ca/radio/rewind/stan-rogers-folk-singer-storyteller-proud-canadian-part-2-1.3239078 |date=July 7, 2016 |website=CBC Rewind with Michael Enright |publisher=Canadian Broadcasting Corporation |access-date=April 8, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite episode |title=The Great Canadian Song Contest |series=Morningside |series-link=Morningside (radio program) |first=Peter |last=Gzowski |station=CBC Radio |date=March 3, 1995 }}</ref> The [[Stan Rogers Folk Festival]] is held every year in [[Canso, Nova Scotia]]. In 1995, several artists performed two nights of concerts at Halifax's [[Rebecca Cohn Auditorium]], which were released on album that year as ''Remembering Stan Rogers'', which peaked at number 36 on the ''[[RPM (magazine)|RPM]]'' Country Albums chart.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/rpm/028020-119.01-e.php?brws_s=1&file_num=nlc008388.9501&type=1&interval=24&PHPSESSID=7kga7fb2rj6rgp0voi7luugtf7|title=Country Albums/CDs – Volume 64, No. 6, September 23 1996|work=[[RPM (magazine)|RPM]]|accessdate=September 13, 2013}}</ref> Rogers is also a lasting fixture of the Canadian folk festival [[Summerfolk Music and Crafts Festival|Summerfolk]], held annually in [[Owen Sound, Ontario]], where the main stage and amphitheater are dedicated as the "Stan Rogers Memorial Canopy". The festival is firmly fixed in tradition, with Rogers' song "[[The Mary Ellen Carter]]" being sung by all involved, including the audience and a medley of acts at the festival. At [[Canmore Folk Music Festival|The Canmore Folk Festival]], Alberta's longest running folk music festival, performers take to the Stan Rogers Memorial Stage, which is the festival's main stage.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.canmore.ca/your-community/recreation/outdoor-recreation/parks-playgrounds-sport-fields |title=Parks, Playgrounds & Sport Fields in Canmore |website=www.canmore.ca |access-date=8 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240211022320/https://www.canmore.ca/your-community/recreation/outdoor-recreation/parks-playgrounds-sport-fields |archive-date=11 February 2024 |quote=The Park includes the Centennial Field and the Stan Rogers Stage and one of Canmore’s largest playgrounds.}}</ref> Stan's son, [[Nathan Rogers]], is also an established Canadian folk artist with a voice and lyrical acumen similar to his father's. He has released two critically acclaimed solo albums and tours internationally as a solo act and in the trio Dry Bones. In 1995, with permission from Estelle Rogers, Vancouver Celtic Rock band Three Row Barley released a live version of Barrett's Privateers on their album Overserved. On his 2006 album ''Writing In The Margins'', American folk musician [[John Gorka]] covered Rogers' song "The Lockkeeper". "That's How Legends Are Made," a song from Gorka's 1990 album ''Land of The Bottom Line'', is also a tribute to Rogers. In 2007, Rogers was recognized posthumously with a National Achievement Award at the annual [[SOCAN]] Awards held in Toronto.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.socan.ca/about/awards/2007-socan-awards |title=2007 Socan Awards | Socan |website=www.socan.ca |access-date=13 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160810134100/http://www.socan.ca/about/awards/2007-socan-awards |archive-date=10 August 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Canadian Celtic rock band [[Enter the Haggis]] regularly performs a cover of “White Squall” to end their shows, and included it on their 2011 album ''Whitelake''. In 2011, the pirate metal band [[Alestorm]] released a cover of Rogers' song "Barrett's Privateers" (Label Napalm Records). In 2013, Groundwood Books turned Rogers' song "Northwest Passage" into a children's book illustrated by award-winning artist Matt James.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Northwest Passage|url=https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/13584765-northwest-passage|access-date=25 September 2021|website=Goodreads.com}}</ref> In 2017, Canadian [[Celtic punk]] band [[The Real McKenzies]] released a cover of Rogers' "Northwest Passage" on their album ''Two Devils Will Talk.''

In 2019, Canadian folk punk band [[The Dreadnoughts]] released a cover of Rogers' "Northwest Passage", as well as a commemorative song named "Dear Old Stan", on Stomp Records. In 2020, [[Canadian Premier League]] soccer club [[HFX Wanderers FC]]'s home kit featured a soundwave image taken from Rogers' "Barrett's Privateers", inspired in part by the song's adoption by Privateers 1882, a supporters group of the Wanderers.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Thompson |first1=Marty |date=May 28, 2020 |title=5 easy-to-miss flourishes from the 2020 CPL home kits |url=https://canpl.ca/article/5-easy-to-miss-flourishes-from-2020-cpl-home-kits |access-date=April 1, 2022 |website=Canadian Premier League}}</ref> In 2022 , [[The Longest Johns]] released a cover of Rogers' "The Mary Ellen Carter" on their album ''Smoke and Oakum''.

His studio albums typically featured the live trio augmented by a mix of studio musicians and special guests, with the exception of the 1983 album [[For the Family]], which featured the unaccompanied trio, who also self-produced the album.<ref>See liner notes on any edition, for example: https://www.discogs.com/release/2697703-Stan-Rogers-For-The-Family</ref> ==Discography== ===Singles=== *"Hail To You Santa Claus" [[A-side and B-side#B/W|b/w]] "[[Coventry Carol]]" (1970; RCA) *"Fat Girl Rag" b/w "Seven Years Along" (1971, RCA) *"Three Pennies"/"Past Fifty" b/w "Guysborough Train" (1974, CBC Promo) ===Albums=== *''[[Fogarty's Cove]]'' (1977) *''[[Turnaround (Stan Rogers album)|Turnaround]]'' (1978) *''[[Between the Breaks ...
