Rogers was noted for his finely crafted traditional sounding songs based on Canadian history and the daily lives of working people, especially in the fishing villages of the Maritime provinces. His best known pieces include "Northwest Passage", "Barrett's Privateers", "The Mary Ellen Carter" and "The Idiot".
The Stan Rogers Folk Festival is held every year in Canso, Nova Scotia.
