About this listen

 Following a celebrated national headline tour and a wonderful run supporting the legendary Bonnie Raitt, Dear John sees Royal Wood collaborating with five-time Grammy-winning Mixer Ryan Freeland (Bonnie Raitt, Ray LaMontagne). Royal describes Dear John as a "letter to a younger Royal". The album captures both his sincerity and artistry. Royal Wood's music continues to resonate worldwide, amassing over 30 million streams. Royal stepped away from the music business and his strong part in it, to have 2 sons and make the family home much more important than the stage. He and his family also decided to move from Ontario to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He makes music wherever he goes. His last album, What Tomorrow Brings, received critical acclaim and was considered for "Best Folk Album" at the 2024 Grammy Awards. 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. The interview includes 5 tracks from Dear John. Back Home. End of the Road, Killer Love, To be in Love, Fever.
