Following a celebrated national headline tour and a wonderful
run supporting the
legendary Bonnie Raitt, Dear
John sees Royal Wood collaborating
with five-time Grammy-winning Mixer Ryan Freeland (Bonnie
Raitt, Ray LaMontagne).
Royal describes Dear John as a "letter to a younger Royal".
The album captures both his sincerity and artistry.
Royal Wood’s music continues to resonate worldwide, amassing
over 30 million streams.
Royal stepped away from the music business and his strong part
in it, to have 2 sons and make the family home much more
important than the stage. He and his family also
decided to move from Ontario to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He makes
music wherever he goes.
His last album, What Tomorrow Brings, received
critical acclaim and was considered for “Best Folk Album” at the
2024 Grammy Awards.
Known for translating his recorded work into captivating live
performances, Royal Wood has headlined prestigious
venues like Massey Hall in Toronto
and Paradiso in Amsterdam, and toured extensively with
acclaimed artists including Bonnie Raitt and David
Gray.
The interview includes 5
tracks from Dear John. Back Home. End of the Road,
Killer Love, To be in Love, Fever.
