Description
I have been playing guitar all my life and came from a musical family. My Mother was a concert pianist and Step Father a jazz Saxophonist who played with the Dorsey Brothers.
I play Classical and Flamenco guitar at weddings, corporate events, wine related events and retirement facilities and do vocals when appropriate in most genres including my own original songs.
I sing Blues, Contemporary, Folk, Gospel and patriotic songs and have special programs prepared for Christmas, Valentines Day, Veterans Day, St Patrick's Day and Cinco De Mayo. I also sing in Spanish and French.
In addition to covers I compose my own Flamenco Music and perform my own original compositions.

Feedback
- Richard Royce was an excellent performer. He played for my birthday party at a private room at a restaurant. He had a large repetoire of songs, and he even wrote a couple of songs for my event! The audience loved his performance. He was very professional and courteous. He played all of the songs I asked for, which included flamenco, French music, and covers of various other artists. I would definitely hire him again for another event, and have already recommended him to my colleagues at work and other friends. He is very talented. -- Jessica C, Portland, OR, 12/4/2010
- Richard was great, he was very flexible, very polite and easy to work with. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for an acoustic guitar player.
Thank you for playing beautiful music at our wedding and reception!!! -- Angie H, Rockaway Beach, OR, 5/5/2010
- Great guy and wonderful musician. Very easy to work with and organized. -- Jim R, Amity, OR, 12/2/2009
- Richard Royce played for my mothere's memorial service. He was very puntual, dressed appropriately, attended to all of his own set up reqirements and most of all was the perfect muscian for our occasion. He was creative in his selections of music. Some of the time he used his own compositions. He played to accompany some of the speakers who offered annecdotes and he adjusted his background music to punctuate the stories in a very effective way. Many guests also voiced their appreciation of his talents. We highly recommend Richard for Flamenco Guitar performances. -- Yolanda P, Lake Oswego, OR, 9/10/2009
