Ruby Friedman Orchestra is: Arlan Schierbaum, Alex Elena, Ulf Bjorlin, Adam Zimmon, Dorian Heartsong, Edwin Livingston, and Ruby Friedman. The Palace lives down by the freeway circa mysterious origins with THE RUBY FRIEDMAN ORCHESTRA. Eclectic roots tangled in substratum jumbalaya VIOLATES all rules and templates commonly undergirding the current status quo...No matter to them! Heaven and Hell, Humanity and Idolatry, Mythologies and Legends... UNITE!
It is within the framework of authentic soul and self-effacing honesty that the RFO's unity exists in whatever psycho-kinetic machination and meta-space you may witness.... ENJOY!
