About the Artist
From the same Pennsylvania wagon wheel fixing town that spawned Bret Michaels and Shane Gillis comes a voice both familiar and refreshingly unique: Royce Leon. Now a resident of the Pacific Northwest, Royce embodies the spirit of the troubadour, weaving tales of life, laughter, and the open road into a captivating blend of Folklaw. His mission? To build an army of Milky Way Pirates, ready to sail the cosmic seas as we inevitably venture into the vast unknown of space and time. Prepare for an experience that transcends the mundane, a journey through the heart of Americana Folklaw, where stories passed down from legends like Ramblin' Jack mingle with melodies plucked from the ether.
Royce's upcoming EP, recorded at the prestigious National Freedom (Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, Damien Jurado) and mastered by Christopher Colbert (Leon Bridges, Sufjan Stevens), promises to be a sonic revelation. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Jerry Jeff, Blaze Foley, Townes Van Zandt, and Leonard Cohen, Royce crafts songs that resonate with both introspection and raw emotion. He's shared stages with notable acts like The Muddy Souls and Electric Tumbleweed with Barry Sless, proving his mettle as a live performer. In a world saturated with the sterile sounds of modern music, Royce Leon offers a contemplative escape, a chance to connect with something real. If he's playing within a 20-minute radius, heed the call: take the pledge, and join the ranks of the Milky Way Pirates.
