Nashville, TN (June
18, 2012) — Award-winning siblings THE ROYS make their Ryman
Auditorium debut on July 5 as part of the legendary venue’s six-week
series, SPRINGER MOUNTAIN FARMS BLUEGRASS NIGHTS AT THE RYMAN. The Red, White And Bluegrass Show includes THE ROYS, The Gibson Brothers and Steep Canyon Rangers, and the music kicks off at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the Show are on sale now and are only $26.50. Fans that arrive early can enjoy Pickin’ On The Plaza festivities which is free of charge and begins at 6 p.m. For more information, go to www.ryman.com or www.THEROYSonline.com.
Ryman Auditorium, recognized by the State of Tennessee as the Birthplace of Bluegrass,
represents something different to everyone, but it remains one of the
most-cherished stages for artists of all genres. For Lee and Elaine Roy,
the chance to walk onto that historic stage is a once-in-a-lifetime
experience. Lee recalls dreaming of performing on the legendary hardwood
as a child. He notes,
“There is no greater venue to us.
Our emotions will be running high.” For his sister Elaine, “Singing on
that hallowed stage will be surreal.” With her sense of humor intact
Elaine jokes, “If you hear a big thud following our performance that
will be me hitting the floor after passing out!”
THE ROYS were busy
earlier this month at CMA Music Festival 2012. They rode in the event’s
opening day Parade, conducted interviews and performed songs from their
current CD, LONESOME WHISTLE, on the Chevy Roadhouse, Durango Acoustic Corner and Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau
stages. THE ROYS also entertained fans and signed autographs at one of
their favorite venues, the world-famous Ernest Tubb Record Shop.
ABOUT THE ROYS

superb sibling harmonies, “rootsy” sound and compelling original songs.
Their current CD, LONESOME WHISTLE (Rural Rhythm Records), debuted at #7
on BILLBOARD’s Bluegrass Albums Chart and combines the best of
the genre’s traditions with the promise of its future. THE ROYS have
shared the stage with George Jones, Lady Antebellum, Janie Fricke, The
