The singer-songwriter went from being an NYU music student wowing Pharrell Williams in a viral video, to selling out Madison Square Garden. She talks about musical obsessions, and her appreciation for listeners with patience.
In a nondescript building in a tiny Pennsylvania town, Maggie Rogers was getting ready for her big moment. Lititz, Pa., is where arena acts come to rehearse their shows before heading out on national tour, and every detail matters. 'Sunday Morning' caught up with Rogers there, just weeks away from her concerts at Madison Square Garden.In a career-defining event, she sold out the New York City venue. 'Twice!' she laughed.
Her interest was more personal, private and quirky: 'Basically, as soon as I could ask for music lessons, all I wanted to do was play the harp,' she said. 'My first CD purchase was a double-purchase of the orchestral score to 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,' and Britney's 'Baby One More Time.' Which, like, maybe is all you need to know about me!'And you hear it in her songs – a pop sensibility with a tremendous intellect behind it.
