A relatively new entry into the Dallas music scene, 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 trio. Coming together a little less that two 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 and Collyer Spreen.
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 combined experiences of all three members contribute to the band’s measured approach to recording and performing, as well at their stress-free attitude.
