The Rogers Family has released their second single for Horizon Records, a song called “A Place to Spend the Night,” written by Kyla Rowland. The track features lead vocals by Rebekah Shields and explores the Christian truth that death is not a permanent end.

The song draws on African-American Gospel sounds, opening with piano and B3 organ playing together to establish a stately 6/8 rhythm. Rebekah’s brother Samuel and sister Hannah join in on the chorus, giving the recording a family ensemble feel that longtime fans of the group will appreciate.
The decision to record the song came out of a conversation between producer Roger Talley and his daughter, singer Lauren Talley. Lauren suggested that Rebekah was the right voice for the song, and Roger agreed. The result is a recording that showcases a notably different musical direction from the group’s Horizon debut.
Their first single for the label, “He’s Still God,” leaned into country sounds as it affirmed the Lord’s unchanging presence. “A Place to Spend the Night” moves in a different direction, giving the family an opportunity to demonstrate their range as performers.
Rebekah described the song’s message plainly. “It is an uplifting song which encourages believers that death is not the end, and the grave is only temporary,” she said. “Written by songwriter extraordinaire Kyla Rowland, we hope this song will be a blessing and comfort.”
The Rogers Family’s story begins in Northeast Georgia, where Ray and Helen Rogers sang in local churches with their daughter Kim, who also played piano. Kim later married Sammy Shields after meeting him at a church in North Carolina in 1999. The family settled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, where they raised three children: Rebekah, Samuel, and Hannah.
After Ray Rogers passed away in 2010, the younger generation stepped into a more central role in the group’s ministry. Today, the family travels and performs together as a group of six: Helen, Kim, Sammy, Rebekah, Samuel, and Hannah, with Kim continuing to serve as the group’s pianist.
