I used to play #panchoandlefty all the time live but never had documented evidence so I recorded this duet in my backyard with a pileated woodpecker. I messed up a line. sorry Townes. RIP TVZ.


Pancho and lefty Duet with Pileated Woodpecker

Royal Holland is a singer-songwriter playing dreamy folk rock songs about love and loss since early 2014. He is desperate to create elaborate, visceral, truthful musical stories in every new song. He stands upon the shoulders of his heroes of the art form; Leonard Cohen, Elliot Smith and Jeff Mangum among many others, and draws inspiration from the terribly beautiful and wonderfully horrible events of daily mundane life. He wants us all to feel beautiful and free.

Growing up in a small farm town, Royal started piano lessons at age 7 during which he begged his instructor to teach him how to write a song. Since then, Royal has always taken solace in writing songs. It got him through being an outcast in his formative years, becoming a single dad at a young age and two failed marriages. He continues to write songs that will connect with those of us who can't quite seem to find their place in this life.

Royal has been writing, recording, performing and crafting music for nearly 30 years, most recently as Royal Holland since 2012. He has released 3 EPs 2 LPs and 4 singles with 3 of them from the forthcoming double vinyl LP concept album "Royal and Vär vs. The Sky Kingdom". He won The 2014 Ohio Music Award for “Best Folk Album”
