Jeff Buckley, Coldplay, Led Zepplin, Michael Jackson, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, we get our inspiration from everything we grew up listening to.
Ruby Hill formed in 2007 when vocalist/guitarist Matt
Brown and bassist Jacob Battan teamed up to begin
making music. After the additions of guitarist Jordan Clark
and drummer Marc Jones, the project evolved into what is
now Ruby Hill.
Ruby Hill’s music is a seamless blend of Rock and Pop
with Soulful vocals, Bluesy guitar licks, and Funky rhythm
sections. The group draws it’s numerous influences from
artists like The Beatles, Jeff Buckley, Stevie Wonder, Stevie
Ray Vaugh, Jimi Hendrix, and contemporary artists such as
Coldplay, Dave Matthews, and John Mayer.
The group has played relentlessly around the Portland area
since it’s formation, and has made frequent visits to the
Seattle area. Both cities have received the band well and
have shown their support by an ever growing audience at
their concerts and shows.
In 2008 Ruby Hill released their first EP entitled “Just A Taste” .
The album sold well, both online and at shows, and it’s title
track received radio play and was featured on KINK FM’s
2009 local music compilation disc.
On December 3rd, 2009 the band released it’s second album,
“New Breed”. Ruby Hill plans to take their first west coast
tour to support their newly released album in the summer
of 2010.
