Dion Roy Live @ Tab September 21, 2010

Dion Roy is an emerging artist on the indie music scene, fusing his bass-inspired roots with his knack for writing an unforgettable pop/rock hook.
Born in Namibia, raised in South Africa, later raised in New Jersey and now a true New Yorker at heart, Roy has graced the stage at all of the usual NYC suspects, including The Bitter End, The Red Lion, Pianos, and Arctica Bar, playing as a bassist for several bands. He’s also opened for high-profile acts like Ben Kweller, while touring throughout the North-Eastern College circuit.
Roy’s music has drawn comparisons to other singer/songwriters like Ryan Adams, Pete Yorn, and Damien Rice, and electronic bands such as Keane, Postal Service, and Snow Patrol. He released his debut album “Gallery” in 2009, showcasing Roy’s fresh combination of catchy pop hooks with brooding, raw emotionality.
