Queen Omega & The Royal Souls

The Royal US, comprising Heather Lockie, Max Kutner, Brian Saia, and Steven Kai Van Betten, reinvigorate traditional British Isles murder ballads, laments, and sea shanties in the 21st century. Leveraging live electronic manipulation and extended improvisation, they modernize folk music while maintaining its essence. Their recent original compositions further demonstrate this unique blend of tradition and innovation.
