"I have always been a fan of Lee and Elaine but when I found out we were all from Massachusetts it made it even more special. You're gonna love this new album!" - Joe Limardi

The award-winning duo's latest is a masterful collection that contains six Roys' originals and seven of the siblings' all-time favorite Bluegrass and Country classics. Hot vocals, steamin' pickin', unbridled enthusiasm and passion make this 13-track wonder a vibrant celebration of the Roots genre.

After bursting on the Bluegrass scene in 2011 with their Top 10 debut album LONESOME WHISTLE, THE ROYS followed with their sophomore project NEW DAY DAWNING in 2012. That landmark EP debuted at #2 on the BILLBOARD Bluegrass Albums Chart, dominated the Hotdisc Top 40, reached #1 on Amazon's Bluegrass Best Sellers list and climbed to the #14 spot on BLUEGRASS UNLIMITED MAGAZINE's Top 15 Albums chart. By September 21, each track of this EP owned a position on the BLUEGRASS TODAY Chart, making THE ROYS the first-ever act to accomplish this feat.

On May 18, The Roys will play in Richmond, Virginia at the Bluegrass Ball to benefit St. Joseph's Villa's Flagler Home, providing shelter and support leading to permanent housing for homeless mothers and their children.

The Villa’s Flagler Services for Homeless Families break the cycle of homelessness by equipping women with the skills and education needed to restore self-esteem and self-sufficiency. Since its beginning, Flagler Home has served more than 1,000 families whose lives have been marked by domestic violence, poverty, low educational attainment, and lack of job skills. Families at Flagler Home have direct access to an Employment Specialist and a Housing Specialist to help them eliminate barriers to permanent housing.

See What George Jones Has To Say About The Roys

“We are extremely saddened by the news of our good friend George Jones' passing. Today is a dark for country music and music in general.

George had become a friend and mentor to us. We will always remember touring with him and how both he and Nancy were so welcoming to us.

Rest in peace George... No one will ever fill your shoes!
