Texas honky-tonks and Oklahoma blues bars are where Royce Reed honed his piano chops on boogie-woogie, blues shuffles, western swing, classic country, and southern rock. Starting with classical piano at the age of 6, to lessons with jazz pianist Jac Murphy as a teen, he was gigging by the tender age of 14 in Dallas blues bars and country honky-tonks. For 50 years he’s played the piano blues, country, swing, rockabilly, & soul music of the South.
Royce performs as a solo artist, as duo with musical friends, or with a backing band according to the requirements of the event and/or venue.
Royce Reed and Ms. Jamie Inman, won the the Suncoast (Tampa Bay) Blues Society Challenge in 2019 and performed at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN.
