This is Roy’s second effort as being the center of attention after years of writing songs and being a sideman. His full name is Roy Bennett Templeton, but he is adamant that his semi-namesake is indeed a fully functioning band. Coming together a little less that three years ago, Roy Bennetts’ 2006 debut, Onomatopoeia, is solid alt-country in the vein of Todd Snider and Tom Petty, but with a unique sense of funk and soul. The latter elements are brought to play by the experienced rhythm section of Hayes Smith, Collyer Spreen and Michael Floreale.
Spreen, who plays drums in Roy Bennett, toured with Starship in the 80’s, and has served as a recording engineer with Crowded House, Steve Windwood, Don Henley and many others. Bassist and horn player Smith hails from Virginia and was a key player with the Universal Records band The Ernies. Smith has also played sax with James Brown, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and local Dallas faves [Daryl].
The newest member of Roy Bennett is Michael Floreale. Founding member of the hit band When In Rome. He still tours the world exciting fans with their hit "The Promise", but when not on the road he plays keyboards filling out the Roy Bennett sound.
The combined experiences of all four members contribute to the band’s measured approach to recording and performing, as well at their stress-free attitude.
