Roger Menezes, a multi-instrumentalist hailing from Sri Lanka, resides in Sydney, Australia. Despite his Australian residence, Menezes holds a deep affection for his birthplace and frequently visits Sri Lanka. In 2025, he made eight trips to Colombo, and as of now, he has already made four visits this year. Whenever Menezes is in Colombo, he entertains music enthusiasts with his unique performance style, which includes vocals, keyboards, guitar, saxophone, and drums – essentially a one-man band.
Menezes is scheduled to perform at Broadway, Dehiwela on August 28th and September 4th. Additionally, he plans to spend a few days in Nuwara Eliya for vacation before returning to Australia on September 6th. In December, he will return to Colombo for a pre-New Year's Eve party at Broadway. Furthermore, Menezes is set to entertain a group of Canadians and Australians in January 2027.
In Australia, Menezes performs regularly at senior citizens' homes, as he enjoys sharing oldies music with them, which brings them nostalgic memories. The multi-talented musician has been a part of several prominent bands during his time in Sri Lanka, including the Savages, Fireflies, and the Jetliners.
