Click here to make your own!Royal and Toulouse was originally formed in 2006 in Birmingham, AL as a jam session with Ricky Little on bass, Milyn Satterfield on vocals/lyrics and Alex Troughton on drums. Several other musicians sat in on this nightly jam which eventually developed into a recording project with "The Fabulous" Ray Calhoun on guitars and harmonicas. The recording took place on 23rd street right across the street from The Garage Cafe. We began writing original songs and booking gigs.
Milyn Satterfield has a long history of performing from choirs, theatre and bands at a very young age to film school in San Francisco where she could be found singing her heart out at any bar, dorm room, bus, trolley or street corner whenever possible. She also lived in Manhattan after college and sang with some very impressive acts and trained with the best in New York. She then ended up back in Birmingham on 23rd street jamming with Ricky, Alex and Ray.
"The Fabulous" Ray, Ricky Little and Alex Troughton are very well known and respected musicians. Together they were in the band Jive Mob (that later formed into The Deep End) which had extensive tours and was chased by many major record labels. Jive Mob won "Best Hip Hop Band" in 2001 for the Birmingham Area Music Awards by Birmingham Weekly.
The debut album, "Skull Orchard" was recorded without any drums though Ricky Little's brother out of DC, Tommy Little recorded drums on the final track of the album. Many thanks to Boris Skalsky, an engineer and musician in NYC who recorded and mixed Tommy's drum tracks.I created my layout at KillerKiwi.netI made this myspace background at..
