Roy
Rogers Jr. (better known as Dusty), is the only biological son of
famed star Roy Rogers. Dusty grew up in the San
Fernando Valley of California with his five sisters and one
brother. Dusty admits that he wanted to get into the show
business since he was 16.
Dusty’s first professional taste was a small part in his
father’s TV series, “The Roy Rogers Show on NBC,” while he was
very small. In those early years, he appeared in movies like
“To Forgive a Thief” and “Arizona Bushwhackers” released by
Paramount Pictures. He even starred in his own television show
entitled, what else than “The Roy Rogers Jr. Show.”
As
Dusty’s career began to grow, other hidden talents began to
develop. Following the footsteps of his Dad and Mom, Dusty
began his recording career which opened new opportunities to
appear in many major rodeo’s, state fairs, conventions, concert
halls and dinner houses throughout the United States and
Canada. His autobiography “Growing up with Roy and Dale”
enlightens us to what it is like being the son of such famous
parents.
Dusty
also serves as the President and Executive Director of The Roy
Rogers-Dale Evans Museum. Since the passing of his Dad and Mom,
Dusty acts as the main spokesperson for the entire Rogers
family.
Whether appearing by himself or with his band “The High Riders,”
you will experience a wide variety of emotion as you listen to
Dusty sing, and appreciate his transparency as he shares some of
his family moments. Dusty continues the legacy of Roy and dale
by providing quality entertainment for the entire family
Since
June 2003, Dusty and his band have been performing twice daily,
five days a week, in the “Happy Trails Theater,” which is housed
