   About Royal Wood

JULIET




A MIRROR WITHOUT




I'M SO GLAD





Royal Wood has a river to cross. On one side lies the critically acclaimed full-length A Good Enough Day, which featured songs smooth as pebbles polished by water's caress. Over and above the rave reviews the album received, Royal's efforts earned invitations to tour nationally with the likes of songstresses Sarah Slean, Kathleen Edwards, Jill Barber and Serena Ryder.

On the other bank awaits the much-anticipated full-length follow-up, when Royal will build on the experience gained in so many trips across Canada, Europe and the US honing songs old and new for appreciative audiences. New material has been heard in recent shows, including several sold-out sets and a stellar night at the Mod Club in Toronto that was recorded for CBC Canada Live on Radio 2 and nationally broadcast this year.

To bridge these albums, on March 24th 2009 Royal will release The Lost and Found EP - a "message in a bottle" collection that will assure fans and critics that Royal is not lost at sea, adrift on an ocean of highway on tour.

Royal is known for velvety vocals and elegant piano-crafted melodies, and The Lost and Found EP will further showcase these familiar elements in a set of songs that turn the spotlight on lyrical expression and orchestral scores. As the title of the EP suggest, these songs are treasured keepsakes, recovered from the past or discovered anew.

"Wood is on his way to establishing himself alongside the Canadian royalty of artists such as Sexsmith and Wainwright. " - EXCLAIM MAGAZINE

His music has been featured on several US and Canadian TV and movie soundtracks; most recently ABC's hit show Grey's Anatomy and Army Wives. The list also includes the HBO series Regenisis, the CBC series This is Wonderland, the CTV movie Playing House, the film The End of Silence starring Sarah Harmer, and the Warner Music Canada soundtrack to the Food Network's The Surreal Gourmet (with other artists including Feist, Tom Waits, The Flaming Lips, Moby, Aretha Franklin) and more.

Royal became a multi-instrumentalist by his early teens after beginning on the piano at the tender age of four. By his early twenties, he had written, self-produced and arranged his first record. Now you will hear him pushing his own musical boundaries with his heart open exploring love, heartache and the questions that drive us all. .

Thanks for the add - I saw you play for the first time yesterday at Hugh's room, and the show was fantastic! My favourite song of the night must have been The Island. Looking forward to the new stuff. Really enjoyed the double bass. Thank you.

Been listening to your CD quite consistently for nearly a year now (since I saw you open for Sarah in Calgary and then Winnipeg last year) but I just realized last night that I didn't even have you added on MySpace.

Anyway, keep up the good work. Looking forward to picking up the new EP. Unfortunately, I'll be out of town and won't be at the Serena Ryder show in Winnipeg on Sunday, but hopefully you'll come through on a headlining tour again soon.

Caught your song on Grey's last night... I was sitting there, and all of a sudden, "Wait - I know that song!!!" Very cool - congrats!

Mar 20 2009 9:21 PM

OK - totally weird moment for me last night. I turned on the TV just before 10 pm, and I start to hear "Mirror without a Face".

I'm wondering how your song could possibly be on TV, then Holy Moly Batman! I realize that "Mirror without a Face" is playing out the final scenes of Gray's Anatomy and the episode focuses on a man who got a face transplant!

What??

.... whatever it was, I hope it brings you well deserved fame and fortune.

(You know, some people actually put that as a selling point on their myspace ... "The hit single, ___ as heard on Gray's Anatomy". Ok, well I might skip the part about how the song sorta ties in with the face transplant. A tad to hokey to be taken seriously. But if you want, NOT seriously - well that's a whole new ball of string!).
