Bradley Royds

You might not have heard of him yet, but you have probably heard him play. Bradley Royds is a performer, composer, producer and recording artist whose songs and sounds can be heard in television shows, commercials, video games, theater, and on the radio, Cds and the Internet.

____________________________________________________________________

Bradley’s musical career began in Houston Texas, where he picked up the guitar at age six and was playing professionally by the time he was ten. In his formative years, he taught himself to play multiple instruments, and developed a unique voice and an engaging stage presence. After earning a high-honors degree in political science from The London School of Economics and The University of Texas, he moved to Los Angeles where he dove in to the business of music as both performer and producer. He quickly landed gigs, including playing guitar with the likes of Boy George, working as a session musician, fronting his over-the-top rock band The High Court, and producing and recording bands and solo artists in his Hollywood Hills studio. Bradley earned a reputation and the moniker ‘The Acoustic Bomb’ for playing explosive solo shows. He also launched a successful career creating scores, songs and sounds for television, commercials, video games, film promo and theater. His hard hitting techno-rock project AndRoyd found huge success placing songs in some of the world’s biggest video games, collectively selling millions of copies.

A longtime summer resident of Cape Ann Massachusetts, Bradley prefers to spend time on the East Coast, playing live, writing, recording and producing a host of talented artists in his studio. In the world of theater he has participated as an actor, musician and sound designer. His recent portrayal of General Benjamin Butler in the play The Beauport Anthology has been described as a ‘knockout.’ He proved perfect for the part, playing guitar in the rock opera Tommy. Israel Horovitz once told Bradley that his sound design work is of ‘Broadway’ quality. As if that were not enough, Bradley is mixing live shows at the new Shalin Liu Hall in Rockport Ma, working with legendary rock, blues and folk artists including John Sebastian, Jonathan Edwards, Livingston Taylor, James Montgomery and Paula Cole, and world class jazz acts like Dave Brubeck, the Grace Kelly Quintet, Lavay Smith, Taylor Eigsti & Julian Lage and Kurt Elling.

Bradley is currently producing his own Cd and is looking forward to an early 2011 release &tour.

Joe and Renee
Renee Dupuis (voice, piano) and Joe Cardoza (voice, guitar) have been playing together for over ten years accumulating a vast repertoire of songs from the popular, rock, and folk traditions, as well as original music.
A graduate of the Hartt School, Renee sings everything from Weezer, to Etta James, Janis Joplin, and Led Zeppelin. You can most recently hear/see her playing the role of Alicia Keyes in comedian Juston McKinney’s (Comedy Central) parody of Jay Z’s “Empire State of Mind”

Berklee graduate Joe Cardoza plays electric and upright bass with many artists in the greater Boston area. He recently opened for Livingston Taylor at the brand new Shalin Liu Performance center in Rockport MA as bassist of the Jake Pardee Trio.

Together both Renee and Joe are a part of the alternative rock country band, The Bandit Kings (www.banditkings.com) who will be celebrating the release of their first full length album at TT The Bears in Cambridge and The Mint in Los Angeles.
“She is a strong, throaty alto with the voice of an earthy angel; he plays guitar with pure passion. The two together are like kids playing in a school playground, with ever so much spark and spontaneity; two swallows darting about together in mid-air, flying tandem with well-practiced precision and skill…Their voices and harmonies match up perfectly in jazz and the more popular songs of the Americana tradition…They leave a feeling of delightsomeness floating on the air.”

Alfred Nesser, after a gig in Salem, MA

My Sunday afternoon adventure to ” Heath’s Tea Room” in Rockport Ma

I headed out Sunday around noon to check out Mike O’Connell’s new place in Rockport called Heath’s Tea Room. Very rarely do I go off like that on my own unless it is for live music and almost always there is someone to connect with so I’m never really alone.

Down the road and right past the tea room I went. While looking for a place to turn around I spotted three enormous turkeys strutting around on the side walk about two blocks away from my destination. Those turkeys were huge and could care less about the cars and people around taking their pictures. There was a couple from out of town that had some pretty nice cameras doing there thing while I was there trying to get the best shot I could possibly get with my little Nokia cell phone camera. Seems like the camera should be in the car at all times now. You never know what kind of photo opportunity you will come across. All I could think about was how awesome this was and boy I wondered if they would taste good. I have seen wild turkeys that look like they were starved to death but not these.

Anyway, off to Heath’s Tea Room. When entering the establishment I was greeted by this lovely woman with a beautiful smile, soft spoken and friendly. I told her of my excitement about the turkeys and she mentioned that they had been there earlier and had to be shooed away and that they can be quite aggressive with people and cars. After that I was asked where I would like to be seated by the waitress who was just as friendly as the hostess, who happens to be Mike O’Connell’s wife Kim. I thought that Kim looked familiar because I had been introduced before when running into her and Mike a few years ago.

The Tea room is simply elegant. One would feel like they entered into the past. Bright and cozy. There is very nice trimmed wood paneling and crown molding around the room.Tin type ceiling with exposed beams.Very nice hardwood floors. Also it is decorated with vintage style antiques. Sweet little sugar bowls with fancy sugar tongs. Fancy table clothes with nice cut work. Soft music playing in the background. I was soaking it all in as I sat by the window, just in case the turkeys would reappear. Being torn between the quiche, roast turkey with stuffing and the shepherd’s pie. The quiche won out and I can always go back to try the others. I ordered the Decaf Ceylon Breakfast tea and the quiche.  It was so relaxing while sipping on the tea and the quiche was delicious.

After eating I asked for a menu to go and got a business card because I had to tell everyone about this sweet place. No wonder Mike was so excited about it. Now, when I hear him do his English accent the Tea room will come to mind even more. I told Kim who I was and that Mike had told me all about the business and she said well, we are going pay Mike a visit and away we went downstairs to the kitchen were Mike O’Connell and his father in law Brian Heath were very busy preparing food. Mike stopped his work and come over and gave me a big hug and thanked me for coming down. There were smiles all around. I have nothing but happy thoughts about going there and think that you will too!

Here is a link to Heath’s Tea Room. Enjoy, hope you get to go there and really enjoy it. Plus some photo’s of “The Three Amigo’s”,  turkeys.
