Ryman Auditorium, recognized by the State of Tennessee as the Birthplace of Bluegrass, represents something different to everyone, but it remains one of the most-cherished stages for artists of all genres. For Lee and Elaine Roy, the chance to walk onto that historic stage is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Lee recalls dreaming of performing on the legendary hardwood as a child. He notes, “There is no greater venue to us. Our emotions will be running high.” For his sister Elaine, “Singing on that hallowed stage will be surreal.” With her sense of humor intact Elaine jokes, “If you hear a big thud following our performance that will be me hitting the floor after passing out!”
The Roys were busy earlier this month at CMA Music Festival 2012. They rode in the event’s opening day Parade, conducted interviews and performed songs from their current CD, LONESOME WHISTLE, on the Chevy Roadhouse, Durango Acoustic Corner and Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau stages. The Roys also entertained fans and signed autographs at one of their favorite venues, the world-famous Ernest Tubb Record Shop.
