Influencesanyone and everyone, i love all music in its many glorious forms. but i will name a few who i think directly inspired my musical sound.

*the cranberries!!

*juliana hatfield

*rilo kiley

*dolly parton

*cat power

*sarah mclachlan

*weezer

*allison krauss

*traveling wilburys and mister tom petty

*fleetwood mac and miss stevie nicks

*jewel

*keane

*cake

*bob dylan

*the beatles

*jack johnson

*jason mraz

*sheryl crow

*edie brickell and the new bohemians

*cyndi lauper

*no doubt and gwen stefani

*fiona apple

*tori amos

*nellie mckay

*i have always been greatly influenced by theater, film, and most importantly musical theater. theater and music are my major passions, so combining them is amazing!

-i am blown away by singers who have their own original voice. dolores oriordan of the cranberries, and stevie nicks are two women who could never be mimiced, and because of that, they are my two singing idols.

Sounds Like??????

you tell me, please...

   About ruby pigtails

*taught myself to sing mimicing my mothers vinyl collection as a child

*married high school sweet heart (enlisted air force). got stationed in japan where i met dave through bartending at the club there on base. dave gave me a few basic strumming and chord lessons.

*wrote my first song- very simple song about meeting and falling in love with my husband in small town usa

*moved to hawaii for second base

*cashed in shares from stock market money that my step grandma had gotten me as a gift as a wee little one, with that money i bought a mac computer(garageband is the best!) and recording software

*picked the band name "ruby pigtails" because it suits me to a t. i have dyed my hair red since high school and wear pigtails literally everyday. i think they are the one shred of childhood i can carry around everyday- my security blanket.

*i am still a very basic guitarist, i am actually still too shy to even say that i am a "guitarist". i always say that i am "learning guitar", so as of yet- do not expect crazy guitar riffs and/or mind blowing guitar solos

*i love writing.

*i love singing. it has always been there. it is what i can do no matter what is going on and things are okay in those moments. its what moves me, so to speak.

*i do not expect everyone to love my music - including my friends. i do not expect to become some super star. i just hope that in one second of one of my songs i can make someone feel how i feel every second that i am holding a microphone.

I am so flipping fed up with iTunes! I can't get rid of my iPod because I'm hella-addicted. I have hit this point in my life where I find in addition to liking folk and acoustic music, I like Brit Alternative, Pop and Jazz...but wouldn't you know, unless they are incredibly mainstream you can not find them on USA iTunes and we can not get European iTunes unless we have UK address. To end my ranting I just want to say that I came here to hear a couple good songs because I knew they would make me feel better. Your music does that to me. Thanks, Becca.
