NYC Based Singer Songwriter Dion Roy Plays Singapore

Dion's Singapore tour is in support of his latest EP "The Nearest Light" which debuted in June 2010 and reached #8 on the iTunes singer-songwriter album charts. Only back from his summer tour for a short while before heading off to Singapore, word is that there may be another west coast tour coming soon (unconfirmed at this time).

Dion's band included, Peter Roessler on guitar, Ed Marshall on bass, and special guest Boots Factor, of Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers, on drums.

After a myriad of unsubstantiated reports hit the press over the past couple weeks announcing that Audrina Patridge, of "The Hills" fame, and musician Ryan Cabrera had broken up, Audrina has finally confirmed that she and the musician are in fact still a couple. Audrina was a guest on late night talk show Lopez Tonight this past Tuesday and while addressing the stories she told host George Lopez, "We started reading all of these rumors and seeing it on TV that we broke up and we're sitting there and we just start laughing about it, like, "Wow, did we really break up?" That's not true." She then simply stated, "We're still together." Good news for fans who were hoping to catch a glimpse of the starlet on April 27th when her boyfriend performs aboard a boat cruise along New York's East River with our very own Dion Roy .
