that guy they call Rick Royale

About Me

I am trying to phase out this profile so if you wanna hook up do so at my myspace music profile . But don't bother adding me if you don't intend to come out and see me play a live show, actually listen to and like my music, know me in person or at very least want to hang out and buy me a drink sometime.
In a nutshell... I am a megalomaniac. I'm on a mission from God. I have lived in Canada, England, New Orleans, Las Vegas, and spent countless months touring the nation and even though I am currently living in New York, I feel that California is home. I love the LA freeway at dusk with the top down. I want to live how I want to live. www.RICKROYALE.com
I promote & play every Tuesday (that I am in town) at a night in Brooklyn called WhiskeyBreath (Laila Lounge 113 N.7th St 1 & 1/4 blk west of the Bedford L train stop). Other than that I am playing... here
Be a sport, buy my new record AT THE END OF SUNSET or download a couple of songs from iTunes
