Royal Wood – A Mirror Without
We got the chance to see Royal Wood perform at a BBQ hosted by Six Shooter Records during NXNE. I had seen him previously as he opened for my favourite Canadian songstress Sarah Slean in May and he quickly found a place in my heart. There is something to be said for an opening act moving an entire audience to tears with a song he wrote about the death of a friend’s grandparents. He had all of us singing along. Putty in his hands.
On Jan 30th 2007, Royal Wood and Dead Daisy Records/Outside Music unleashed A Good Enough Day to rave reviews. Carefully writing, performing and producing the effort, Royal decided to have a few guest musicians sit in, including well-known Toronto musicians Hawksley Workman, Kurt Swinghammer, Harmony Trowbridge and Kevin Fox.
