Coy Roy

The artistry of Coy Roy bids listeners to FEEL their way through sonic experiences by distilling emotion into sound. Grammy nominated songwriter Bo Rinehart, aka COY ROY, brings the brand of boyish innocence and raw honesty that fans have become familiar with during his nearly twenty year run as a primary songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with his former band NEEDTOBREATHE. During his tenure in NTB, he wrote staples such as "Brother" (feat. Gavin DeGraw), "Hard Love", "Multiplied", and "Something Beautiful" and dozens of others. Newest single, “What Love Is” explores the illuminating thought that our narrator has been deceived by a counterfeit of love. Awakened and embarked upon a healing journey, the songwriter recognizes that he has only just discovered what love truly is for himself and that he has been accepting a lessor form all this time. The folksy rock song leads with the unlikely ukelele but then blossoms in to an anthem of realization and release from a life of limiting beliefs. This is a conversation of a millennial recognizing that it’s time to move on to better things and focus on understanding what real love really is. The music of Coy Roy instills raw emotion and creates visceral experiences with beautiful melodic landscapes amidst disorganized sonic rhythms.
