Announcer,
and more ...
With more than two decades of
experience in the industry and a Wrangler and
Ariat endorsee, Rasmussen is a veteran rodeo
announcer who, since advancing to the PRCA ranks
in 1994, has shared his style of announcing with
rodeo fans in Montana and across the United
States.
Definite Style. Rasmussen's trademark
is his enthusiasm for the sport and his ability to
involve the entire audience ineach of the rodeo events.
His commentary is down-to-earth, sprinkled with rodeo
facts and trivia that make the show understandable and
enjoyable for veteran fans and first-time enthusiasts.
"I'm committed to getting the audience totally involved
in every performance," he says.
His personal knowledge of the
sport, sense of humor and timing blend together for a
quality presentation that enhances the rodeo and
satisfies the fans. "I guess it's my sense that you need
more than just a rodeo," he says. "People want to be
entertained."
Rasmussen is a fast thinker, who
adjusts to the quicksilver changes of pace in the rodeo
arena with humor and aplomb and is comfortable
commenting on all facets of the sport.

Raised in the mighty Rocky Mountain West,
Jared Rogerson is the product of a generation
learning to thrive in midst of ever changing
surroundings. His songwriting draws from 17
years of bronc’ riding in rodeos and countless
miles traversing the rugged backcountry on
horseback. Then throw earning a Master’s degree
in biology into the repertoire of his life’s
experiences and back it with an array of musical
influences from Chris LeDoux to the Grateful
Dead. The end result is a modern cowboy-flavored
vibe lyrically embellished with character and an
honest edge, and deepened by the unmistakable
tone of genuine experience.
Jared calls his unique sonic blend of
contemporary authenticity, “Western Country.”
