As part of their NEW DAY DAWNING pre-release media blitz, THE ROYS have already enjoyed an exclusive premiere of their "Still Standing" Lyric Video
on PRESCRIPTION BLUEGRASS and a seven-week promotion with BLUEGRASS
TODAY that featured a different video track each week. SiriusXM Bluegrass Junction Channel 61 aired an in-depth “Track-by-Track” profile hosted by Kyle Cantrell August 22 - 26.
The seven-song EP (a first for a Bluegrass artist) finds the duo breaking new ground, focusing the spotlight on the siblings' impressive traditional-style vocals, while progressive instrumental attitudes are keeping their sound fresh. Their current single "Still Standing" has been dubbed "Their strongest outing yet,” by Music Row's Robert K. Oermann. Other disc highlights abound and include the touching "Daddy To Me," the moving "Windin' Roads," the visually descriptive and heartbreaking "Grandpa's Barn" and the "hooky" "Fast As We Roll."
THE ROYS' first Rural Rhythm Records' CD, LONESOME WHISTLE, earned them a spot on BILLBOARD'S Top 50 Bluegrass Albums of 2011 Chart and gave them two hit singles: "Coal Minin' Man" and "Trailblazer." The duo was named 2011 Inspirational Country Music's Bluegrass Artist of the Year and was previously honored with the ICM's Duo of the Year award in 2010 and 2009.
