Little Roy & Lizzy return to Troy for Jan. 27 show

TROY — A tradition in Troy continues this month when the Little Roy & Lizzy Show returns to the James Garner Center in Troy on Jan. 24 for a concert.

Little Roy Lewis has been providing musical entertainment and laughter annually in Montgomery County to benefit the Troy Lions Club for more than six decades! 

“I started coming with my family in 1963,” recalled the banjo/guitar/autoharp-playing pint-sized singer and comedian.

Promoter Jeff Branch is happy to see the Lincolnton, GA group return. “I’m looking forward to having Little Roy & Lizzy back in Troy. I promise you are in for an entertaining show when Little Roy hits the stage.”

Their high energy show features an evening of fast-paced bluegrass and gospel music with tight harmonies and intervals of side-slapping humor. 

Even at age 83, Little Roy hasn’t slowed down. He still hops around the stage, playing multiple instruments, telling jokes, donning crazy costumes and being the ultimate entertainer. 

Lizzy Long joins in, playing a variety of instruments, singing original tunes and keeping tabs on Little Roy.

They are backed by a full band of talented musicians: Hunter Berry on fiddle, Mikayla Hyde on guitar and Holger Olesen on bass. 

Sponsored by the Troy Lions Club, concessions by its members will be available.

The show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 for reserved seating, $15 for general admission. 

For tickets or more information, contact Jeff Branch at 704-985-6987 or jbranch205@gmail.com. The James Garner Center is located at 210 Burnette Street in Troy.
