Royal Soul

Description

Royal Soul is a talented pop, soul, and jazz band, performing primarily as a duo, comprising jazz-influenced electric guitar, soulful piano, and crisp male/female vocal harmonies. The duo even incorporates percussion into their sound when appropriate, using a stompbox bass drum and a foot-tambourine for a driving rhythm section, making Royal Soul the fullest-sounding two-piece out there!
Royal Soul incorporates ideas from a variety of genres, and takes on the challenge of arranging all sorts of popular songs from different eras into a uniquely clean, laid-back, yet funky style. Royal Soul ... is a duo with a difference; moving completely away from the concept of an acoustic guitar and a singer, Royal Soul offers something fresh, funky, soulful, and effortlessly cool.
