About
The Roys
Lee
and Elaine hail from Fitchburg, Massachusetts, and draw from a deep well of
experience that owes much to the bluegrass and country music that permeated
their youth. In 2008, THE ROYS released their debut album, GOOD DAYS, and began
building a national fan base that soon discovered what country music lovers in
New England had known all along. They landed coveted gigs working with George
Jones, Collin Raye, Phil Vassar, The Oak Ridge Boys and Chris Young, among
others. Now, the two are kicking their career into high gear. They recently
made their national television debut on the annual Jerry Lewis Labor Day
Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon, and in August, they traveled
to Bogota, Columbia, South America as part of an outreach mission sponsored by Compassion
International, an organization for which they are spokespersons.
