Roy Rivers
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, I play live all the time. You can get concert updates on my web site. Performing for others is the best part of being a musician... the intimacy of it and the one-on-one way it allows you to connect with your audience.
Your musical influences
Greatest musical influence: John Denver. Other influences: James Taylor, Glen Campbell, Johnny Cash. At my shows you can expect to hear simple arrangements and music that seeks to touch you. I hope it's an experience for the building up and reinforcing of the spirit.
What equipment do you use?
A good guitar (or two) and a clear voice.
Anything else?
The songs I write are what gives voice to the feelings and emotions I experience in living. I hope their words can find a place to resonate with everyone who hears them. I hope they make you want to sing along, but more than that, I hope they help us to have a little more hope, a little more tolerance and understanding, and a little more love for each other. If my music can do even a little of "that", then I'm fulfilled and feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. Thank you.
