Happy New Year - 2012

Hey Music Lovers -

Happy New Year from the Ruby Bennett Studios!

My latest recording project is in the works. 

Last year's successful recordings at the Wally Sound have inspired me to continue recording in a casual, stripped - down way  
- for the shear joy of singing and sharing my favorite songs! 


So, expect to hear anything from a capella songs sung while I'm doing the dishes, jam sessions with friends, duets with my brother, high lonesome harmonies, dirty blues, night club sit-ins  
- whatever I'm up to, you'll get to hear!

Thank you for all your sweet emails and showing up to my shows, dancing singing along and cheering me on - Ruby

I had a wonderful time last Thursday playing for a rip roaring crowd at the Business in Bloom event in Oakland.

Thank you again to Ned Boynton for accompanying me with his swanky, stylin' jazzy guitar goodness.

Stay tuned for more gigs in San Francisco, the East Bay and Sacramento!

Cheers - Ruby

I will be performing cocktail jazz at this event!

Come for an evening of fun, cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, music and shopping. Leave inspired having learned about the mission of Women's Initiative and having heard the stories of how we've empowered women to build businesses and enriched communities in Alameda County.
