The Roys hunting a banjo player

Event Details

The View - The RoysJust as they celebrate the release of their latest album, The View, The Roys are on the hunt for a new banjo player.

Daniel Patrick, who has spent the past year and a half on the road with the band, has told Lee and Elaine Roy that he wants to leave the group to start a band with his sister, Samantha, called The Patricks.

In a Facebook posting, they announced the opening this morning.

“If you are, or know someone who is good and looking for a full time gig, please inbox us! Daniel will be with us through October and is going to work with the new member to get them up to speed.

Must have a passport and be ready to travel.”

And speaking of the new CD, Lee and Elaine have created a track-by-track video to introduce all the songs on The View.
