Royce Martin's Swagtime Revolution | St. Louis News

Royce Martin drops Swagtime — a wild, genre-bending fusion of ragtime stride, bebop, and hip-hop rap, all played and produced by him at the keys. Blending Scott Joplin’s legacy with Charlie Parker’s jazz and Metro Boomin’s production, this new sound is his mission to resurrect St. Louis as a ragtime hub while injecting fresh, poetic energy into American music’s roots. A self-taught St. Louis native who played at the Scott Joplin House by 18 and scored for HBO and Hulu, Royce’s Swagtime is a bold reinvention — and he’s bringing it to life live at Blue Strawberry on July 25, 2026.
