Nancy Wilson, one of the founding members of the legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group Heart, has teamed up with former Prince’s New Power Generation band member and R&B singer Liv Warfield to form the soulful, rock super group, Roadcase Royale.
The band will release their debut album, First Things First, this Friday, September 22, 2017.
The album was produced by fellow Roadcase Royale band member Dan Rothchild (Heart), along with the band.
Roadcase Royale has been busy doing press interviews and radio visits including NPR Weekend Edition and Billboard—who premiered “The Dragon,” a song written for the late Alice In Chains frontman Layne Staley before his death. Other press includes Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Sirius XM, and Associated Press.
BackStory Events recently live streamed a Q&A with Wilson & Warfield via Guitar World—watch it below.
Earlier this year, Rolling Stone premiered the live performance video of their debut single “Get Loud” saying, “…the band builds a funky, nimble groove, led by Warfield's soulful belting and the acoustic/electric guitar attack of Wilson and Prince protégé Ryan Waters.” The video was shot by celebrated photographer, Neal Preston.
“Get Loud,” with its laid-back groove, provides a solid acoustic and electric foundation for Warfield’s vocals—all about getting loud and standing up for women’s equality. “Get Loud” blends this important message with the group’s R&B and rock influences, resulting in a uniquely powerful track.
Roadcase Royale’s version of the Heart song “These Dreams” is featured in the new Aaron Sorkin film, Molly’s Game, starring Idris Elba, Jessica Chastain, and Kevin Costner. The film will make its official U.S. release nationwide on November 22, 2017.
“Roadcase Royale is a band I've always wanted to be in,” says Nancy Wilson. “We all write and create songs
