Introduction

Citing such notable influences as Randy Newman and Tom Waits, Royal creates music that explores emotion. "A musical amalgam of recent heroes, with the poetry of one perhaps to come." - Kurt Swinghammer.

“A beautiful five song mini-album that somehow manages to blend the songwriting of Tom Waits with a vocal style reminiscent of Jeff Buckley” – www.umbrellamusic.com

With The Millweed EP (written, performed and self produced) now released on www.maplemusic.com, Royal has enlisted an all-star cast of musicians to fill the task of back-up band. It includes local musicians, David Matheson on keyboards (Moxy Fruvous), Maury Lafoy on bass (Starling, Supers, Sarah Harmer), Adam Hay (Sarah Slean) on drums and the occasional addition of Sarah McElcheran (Hawksley Workman) on trumpet/flugel horn.
