Biergarten Stage
Royce Reed – “Texas Piano” has a deep live performance background both as a solo artist and with bands covering a wide range of musical genres (country, southern rock, ’60s rock, blues, and gospel) with a whole bunch of bands from Texas to Florida. At the age of 6, he rode a city bus across Houston to take classical piano lessons, eventually studying jazz under Jac Murphy (the award-winning pianist made famous on the haunting intro to “Wildfire”, the Michael Martin Murphy hit of the 1980s). After playing tenor sax in his high school band, it was a short jump to playing keys in southern rock and progressive country bands in Texas honky-tonks and Oklahoma blues bars, where Royce honed his chops on boogie-woogie and blues shuffles, western swing, and rockabilly. In 2019, Royce teamed with vocalist Jamie Inman to represent the Suncoast Blues Society (Tampa Bay) at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN.
For 50 years Royce has composed, recorded, and performed piano rocking blues, country, western swing, rockabilly, & the soul music of the South. He currently lives in Georgetown, TX and performs both as solo artist at listening rooms, wineries, and retirement communities, and with bands at central Texas dance halls, honky-tonks, and craft breweries.
