HOW LONG, the debut EP from Ruby Frost, was recorded in 2007. Featuring five whimsical songs of guitars, french horn, hand claps and her all-family band, it is available at Marbecks and Real Groovy in Auckland, or available by emailing hellorubyfrost@gmail.com
RUBY FRÖST (aka Jane de Jong) has been singing since she was old enough to spin-dance in front of the washing machine.
The 22-year-old songbird writes infectious songs, plays acoustic guitar and programs beats in her laptop - with the result always being something a little different.
Her debut acoustic-folk tinged EP, HOW LONG, was released in 2007 and has already sold out of its first run. If you'd like a copy, please email Ruby at HELLORUBYFRÖST@GMAIL.COM.
She has performed to large crowds at Parachute festivals, played at arts conferences, opened for lovely acts like The Ladykillers - plus sung out in bars, cafes and folk clubs.
Now, Ruby has started experimenting with computer tracks and strong pop-sensibilities. She is currently recording a slew of new demos... and is happy to play on request, around and about. Watch this space...
Hope you got good computer speakers cuz your theme song awaits your eager ears in the song-player on my page. It's entitled "Rubi," my acoustic version.

Wanted to let you know that 'O That I Had' was on the playlist rotation for the first 'FemAcoustica' radio show on 12 September on PlainsFm in Christchurch. Great tune, and I've had some good feedback about it from a few listeners!
Can send any of the new stuff (like 'Goodnight' ) as an mp3 to the NZWAC email. Look forward to playing more in future shows.
