Glass Heart String Choir

Glass Heart String Choir is pleased to announce they are opening for much-lauded Canadian singer-songwriter Royal Wood.

Friends-in-arms reveling at the intersection of classical virtuosity, existential poetics, and art-film surrealism, the Seattle art-pop duo weaves golden lyrical threads of haute-art into their achingly beautiful orchestral tapestry. They have toured the US, New Zealand, and Canada, and opened for esteemed artists Devotchka, Emily Wells, and French for Rabbits.

Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Royal Wood has established himself as a true musical talent. Since being proclaimed “Songwriter of the Year” by iTunes (2010), Wood has continued to evolve and hone his musical craft – maintaining an unmistakable identity while uncovering and reinventing his sound.

With two albums debuting in the Top 30 and multiple JUNO nominations, Wood is a 5-time Canadian Folk Music Award-nominee whose songs have been heard on high-profile programs such as Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice. Headlining world-class venues like Massey Hall and Roy Thompson Hall (Toronto), The National Arts Centre (Ottawa), and The Winspear Centre (Edmonton), Wood’s considerable talents have allowed him to share the stage with globally-celebrated artists Bonnie Raitt and David Gray, joining both as direct support on their national tours.
