Album Notes

Born in L.A. in 1999, Ruby James moved to Orlando a year later to develop the band on the East coast. They focused on writing together, bringing forth a unique blend of sound and styles. Their influences range from Stevie Nicks and Sheryl Crow to bands like U2 and The Verve. The songs stretch from soulful, bluesy tunes to darker, moodier modern rock, with clever lyrics and catchy melodies. Ruby's voice is rich and sultry, while Sean's guitar playing combines driving hooks and ethereal textures.

The band has played much of the Orlando scene, in venues such as The Social, Hard Rock Live, House of Blues, Will's Pub, the now defunct Barbarella and Kit Kat clubs, Slingapours, the Axis Florida Music Festival, and also played shows in NYC's legendary The Bitter End, as well as The Mint and The Gig in Hollywood, Ca. They recently opened for War at 98.9 WMMO's Downtown Concert Series in September.

Their songs “Happy Now” and “Sweet as Sin” have been featured on WMMO's weekly Sunday Morning Acoustic program, hosted by Jerry Steffen. Plus, they were voted pick of the week on Real Radio's The Phillips' Phile in September. Their tracks are regularly played every Friday and Saturday night on Slingapours' dance floor by Orlando's DJ Jade.
