Ruby Hill (soul/rock)
What:
Ruby Hill from Portland/Seattle is coming down this way to promote their new CD. They are playing Six Rivers Brewery Friday, June 4th and then WAVE on Saturday, June 5th. Check them out.
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.
