Back Home Again in Metamora


After being gone from the place of his birth here in Metamora, Roy Kitchen returned home after 30 years in Tennessee, Texas and Arizona.
Roy was a singer/songwriter in Nashville, enjoying some success, recording an album ("Someday Arizona" available by calling 765-265-2272) and getting some radio airtime.
He continued playing as a professional musician while working the oil fields of west Texas.
Roy continued his music on weekends while working as a heavy equipment operator in the open pit copper mining industry in Arizona. Music specialties here included expanding into western swing and top forty country music.
He got homesick for Indiana after 30 years away, and decided to return after learning of an opportunity to purchase a local Metamora water delivery service company. Glad to be back home, Roy can be found many days hanging out in the Smelly Gourmet Coffee Bar on Main Street in between thousand-gallon deliveries practicing music with Metamora's own "Catrina and the Baggy Bottom Boys" Band.

Welcome home Roy!
