Duo
Bluegrass
US composé de Lee Roy et de sa soeur Elaine.
A bluegrass
and songwriting duo, the Roys are actually brother and sister siblings Lee Roy
and Elaine Roy, who were born in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, but grew up across
the border in Coal Branch, New Brunswick, Canada, surrounded by bluegrass and
old-time music. Lee was playing mandolin in a local bluegrass group by the time
he was nine years old, while Elaine made her public singing debut at the age of
ten. The two began performing as a duo, developing a sound that blended
bluegrass, country, folk, and gospel with a strong songwriting sense, all
brought home with the kind of striking Vocals harmonies that only siblings seem
to be able to generate. They built a following on the New England circuit before
moving to Nashville, where they launched their own label, Pedestal Records, and
released a pair of albums, The Roys and Good Days, in 2006, then signed with
Rural Rhythm Records, which issued Lonesome Whistle in 2011, New Day Dawning in
2012, and Gypsy Runaway Train in 2013.
