RICK ROYALEs trash and jangle Americana combines the California cool of Tom Petty or The Byrds with the Rock n Roll heart of Lou Reeds Velvet Underground. His emotive lyrics rise above a sound that echoes the classic pop of the late 60s and early 70s while taking time to stroll the same musical side streets as contemporary singer songwriters like David Gray, Ryan Adams, or Pete Yorn. 

RICK ROYALE, described by Vodka Magazine as an "artist and visionary" has been on the cutting edge of the indie-music scene since he moved from Canada to Los Angeles with his rockabilly band The Rattled Roosters in the early 90's. After 4 full length records, numerous singles and compilations, and due to the regional success of later projects, as well as his spirited solo shows, Rick has earned his reputation as a prolific and talented songwriter and a peerless live performer. 

RICK ROYALE now divides his time between New York, Los  Angeles, and relentlessly touring. He holds a critically acclaimed residency Tuesday evenings, when he is in the city, at a night he started called WhiskeyBreath in New Yorks scene-de-jour, Williamsburg. Block Magazine describes WhiskeyBreath as avant-garde and The  Village Broadsheet claims that it is the "stomping grounds for just about everybody who's anybody on the East Village music scene today." 

RICK ROYALE's new record "AT THE END OF SUNSET" (www.AtTheEndOfSunset.com) delivers simple, catchy, melodies and evocative lyrical imagery bathed in ringing Rickenbackers and waves of symphonic feedback, comfortably faded by the California sun.
