Royal Wood is a beloved Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. A two-time JUNO and five-time Canadian Folk Music Award nominee.Following a celebrated national headline tour and a successful run supporting the legendary Bonnie Raitt, Royal’s new album “Dear John” sees Wood collaborating with five-time Grammy-winning mixer Ryan Freeland (Bonnie Raitt, Ray LaMontagne).
Described as, ‘a letter to himself’, the album captures both Wood’s signature sincerity and boundary-breaking artistry. It features Grammy-winning musicians Ash Soan (drums) and Hutch Hutchinson (bass).
SPILL MAGAZINE said Dear John is “a brilliant album by a very important artist”.
“After last stepping off the Massey Hall stage, I decided that it might be time to retire from music and focus on my family and our dreams”, shares Wood, speaking on the record. “A voice deep inside suddenly became very vocal about what I had to do next. It told me that I needed to honour the child that began my journey in music all those years ago. It told me that I needed to make a true, genuine and unabashed album that the kid in me would love.”
Wood’s music continues to resonate worldwide, amassing over 30 million streams, numerous high-profile placements on shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice, and frequent playlist features across Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. Most recently, his single “A Good Enough Day” was prominently featured in a TV campaign, propelling the track towards 4 million streams.
His previous album, What Tomorrow Brings, received critical acclaim and was considered for “Best Folk Album” at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Crafted alongside world-renowned writer/producers Linda Perry (Adele, Alicia Keys) and Jamie Scott (Ed Sheeran, Michael Kiwanuka), What Tomorrow Brings saw Wood reach new emotional depths and deliver his most powerful collection of music to date.
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.
