CONNECT with Royal South:

Royal South, . . . some southern twang, a British accent, and an undeniably brilliant three-part harmony. When the exciting new trio featuring SaraBeth, Glen Mitchell, and Vickie Vaughn take the stage, there’s an energy that both the audience and members can’t deny.

Individual artists in their own right with chart-topping songs, Grand Ole Opry performances, industry awards, a fiercely loyal social media following, and world tours between them, Royal South is the perfect storm for the creation of a Nashville powerhouse.

There’s a definite synergy between the three of them – professionally and personally.

“Being a band isn’t just about the music; it’s also about being with people that you can survive with on the road,” says SaraBeth. 

“You’re going to spend a lot of time with these people. Sometimes there are good times; sometimes, there are bad times when you’re exhausted and grumpy. Your bandmates become your family. You have to be with people who love and accept you through the highs and lows.”

“We’re friends first and a trio second. I think the reason we love making music together is because of our friendship,” states SaraBeth. “We each have different strengths, and we play to them to create a unique sound.”

The formation of the trio was one that happened organically, says SaraBeth. “We met Vickie three years ago through mutual friends. We’d all run in the same circles, ended up at the same cookouts or gigs, and we generally gravitated towards each other. Once we started playing together we quickly realized that this was a band project. I watched a video from our initial musical gathering and knew we had something special and unique with the way our three voices blended together. That realization is how the trio came to be. I had played with Glen for nearly five years. He’s been there through thick and thin, and Vickie joined that dynamic seamlessly.”
