Roi and the Secret People are a high-energy original alt-rock band hailing from Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, delivering punchy, feel-good rock with an edge. Their sound blends indie grit, classic hooks, and hard-rock drive from both sides of the Atlantic, with a subtle Southern sway that keeps things loose, soulful, and unmistakably theirs.

A regular presence across the tri-state area, the band’s live sets pull from a deep catalogue of five full releases and multiple singles, all original and all built to move a room. Known for keeping audiences on their toes, RSP also slip in the occasional unexpected cover—reimagining artists as wide-ranging as David Bowie and Joss Stone—without ever losing their own identity.

The current lineup features Mike Roi on lead vocals, Ed Golden on guitars, Madelaine Elizabeth on vocals, keys, and violin, Baron on drums, and AJ Sigfried on bass—an ensemble that brings both power and polish to every stage they step on.

Their most recent singles—“GOLDEN,” “Life Is Happening,” “Halo,” and “Mississippi Sun”—are available on all major digital platforms. The single and accompanying music video for “GOLDEN” have gained notable traction on FM and internet radio in the U.S. and internationally, with airplay spanning the UK, Ireland, Australia, Germany, and several Asian markets.

RSP’s music has also crossed into film, with songs featured in the indie releases Ceresia, Dead and Deadish and the award-winning Love in Absentia, including fan favourites “O’Love,” “Hungry,” and “Nancy.”

The band has shared stages with an impressive range of artists, including The Smithereens, The Quireboys, Enuff Z’Nuff, The Black Moods, Spread Eagle, The Midnight Devils, Pretty Boy Floyd, Drake Bell, and a sold-out New Jersey show alongside actor-musician Corey Feldman. Festival appearances include Musikfest, Baconfest, Easton Rocks, Libertyfest, Make Music NYC, and numerous regional events and clubs.

Over the years, Roi and the Secret People have earned multiple Lehigh Valley awards, including Outstanding Rock Band, All-Around Performer, Soloist, and Music Educator, alongside recurring appearances on WFMZ Channel 69’s Monday Morning News.

Currently, the band is putting the finishing touches on a brand-new EP recorded in Nashville with award-winning producer Malcolm Springer, slated for release in summer 2026—and if the past is any indication, it’s going to turn a few heads.
