New Year, New Music, Same Love

January 17, 2018 No Comment

It is an integral part of what we do to provide for our fans music and moments to feel moved by as we strive forward in our times. As we welcome the 2018 year, TROY is excited about many things. We have received many opportunities and many blessings since the release of our last ep “Two Worlds” and as we anticipate a release of our newest album in the 2018 year, we are reminded of the magic made possible by the loving support of our loyal fans. Our hearts lead us to play and our fires are fueled by the appreciation and love that we receive in return.

While finishing the newest upcoming album, we also prepare for the season of music festivals ahead, including our performance at Rocklahoma in Pryor, OK, and gain excitement in returning to see so many of our beloved fans. While not on tour we think of those we have made connections with, all of our fans and friends, and we anticipate seeing all of those folks once again! TROY looks forward to touring in 2018 and celebrating what we do with those who make it possible for us with some fresh tasty jams. We appreciate all those who joined us last weekend on the 12^th at The Riff in our hometown of Springfield MO. It was a great show to kick off the new year! We had a blast sharing the set list with so many who have supported us for so long. Stay posted for updates on the new album and tour dates where you can hear the new stuff!

Over and out for now, TROY nation. Keep on, rockin’ on!

TROY Rocks 2nd Annual Toys for Tickets Presented By Q102.1

December 7, 2016 No Comment

2nd Annual Toys for Tickets Raises Over 300 Toys

The 2nd Annual Toys for Tickets holiday toy drive was a giant success and we are grateful to have been a part of this event for the second year in a row! Presented by Springfield’s Rock Station Q102.1, Toys for Tickets was created to help raise toys for less fortunate kids during the Christmas season by having concert-goers provide a toy instead of money for a ticket. We had such a fun time being a part of the first Toys for Tickets in 2016 and the 2nd Annual event was no different!

The lineup included The Pour, Bridge to Grace, TROY & Devour the Day. Over 300 toys were collected to be donated! Events like this are always a great reminder of how strong and supportive our rock community is. One of the reasons why we do what we do is because of the gift of giving and the good that comes from sharing joy with others. We thank Q102.1 for continuing this awesome deal and having us on the show for some pregaming, the Outland Ballroom for housing the party, as well as the Springfield rock community and all our brothers and sisters for rocking out for a great cause! Happy holidays TROY Nation!
