We are adding a new attraction this year to the Boyd Boo Bash. We will have live entertainment from Roy Harkey. So come out and enjoy some good food, drink, fellowship and entertainment from Roy Harkey. We look forward to see you at the festival.
A little something about Roy:
Roy started making and writing music in his youth. He used local bands and solo performances to work his way through his Alma Mater, Oklahoma University. He played bass for Ike and Tina Turner (before their split-up) and has sung and played with Bonnie Raitt and a few other nationally known artist since the early 2000's. During his music career he has played with many other small combos, large bands, and a big city symphony (on the string bass).
Roy co-wrote and played on a song "Groovy Grubworm" with a former band mate (Harlow Wilcox) that went to #1 on the country charts in the late 70's, and was nominated for a Grammy that same year.
He now does 'solo work' (Singing, Guitar, foot controlled Porch Bass and 'miked' Tambourine), that creates a very 'full' sound for a solo entertainer.
Roy performed a One-Man-Show in Las Vegas during the late 90's. He has also played hotel lounges, night clubs, bars, big and small parties, and various functions at large and small conventions around the country.
He has a very large musical repertoire, and covers most musical styles. He enjoys playing Easy Listening Music, Ballads, Folk, Soft Rock, Rockabilly, Blues, Old & New Country, Folk/Rock, DooWops, and Golden Oldies; and can 'mix' enough different types of music during his sets to please everyone in the crowd.
Roy also plays with a very lively Texas Show Band, "RetroActive".
