Artist Bio

  

Storytelling is the essence of music that endures over the years, as it touches our hearts and becomes intwined with our lasting memories.

Royce Reed's live performance is a series of  musical stories from the catalogue of timeless  classic & traditional country,  blues, southern rock, western swing, rockabilly, & soul music of  the American South.  His piano playing leans on influences from a broad spectrum  of musical icons (Jerry Lee Lewis, Leon Russell, Floyd Cramer, Harold “Pig” Robbins, and Ronnie Millsap) while his singing ranges widely (Willie Nelson, Roy Orbison,  George Strait, Elvis Presley, Merle Haggard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Rodney Crowell,  Charley Crockett, & Lyle Lovett,  just to name a few).  

As a solo artist Royce consistently delivers audience engaged shows at retirement communities and listening rooms. 

With country dance band Sterling Country,  Royce keeps the crowd dancing to two-steps, waltzes, polkas, and roots rock at  historic Texas dance halls across Central Texas. 

When not gigging, Royce enjoys gardening and hanging out with his lovely wife Laurie and their dog Popi.
