Ruby's various musical incarnations have harnessed the talents and support of:
Billy Zoom, Tony Gilkyson, Chris Morris, John Taylor, DJ Bonebrake, Mike Chapman, Arlan Schierbaum, Dave Sutton, Edwin Livingston, Sheldon Gomberg, Michael Ward, Brooke Lizotte, Art Ford, Brian Head, Dan Petruch,Dave Gleason, Bob Thiele, Gregg Sutton, Hein Hoven, Doug Messenger, Jeff Silbar, Adrian Lee, Kyle Johnston, English Paul Gurvitz, Mike Ness, T.K. Smith, The Sirens, Big Sandy, and many more...
Ruby sightings run the gamut from baby grand vaudeville duo to full rockin' 6-piece band, turn-tablist, saxophone and all. Either way, showtime is never old-hat, even though her performances recall the fervor of the Great Awakening's Johnathan Edwards in their hellacious urgency and spiritual intensity.
The Palace lives down by the freeway, electrified, unbridled, and forever permutating in Ruby's musical world, warning listeners to never get too comfortable with any one sound. It is within the framework of authentic soul and self-effacing honesty that Ruby's unity exists in whatever permutation you may witness. ENJOY!
