Ruby - Mountain Soul Music: Ruby at Gatehouse Winery

About this event

Live acoustic music! Looking forward to returning to Jamestown, it's been a minute! Ruby was born and raised in Morgantown, West Virginia. At age 3, she began classical training on the violin which continued into college at West Virginia University. In her adult years, she branched out from classical violin, and began a lifelong adventure as a musical performer in multiple bands spanning from rock-n-roll to honky-tonk. In the studio, she’s recorded on cello, mandolin, banjo, bass, and piano, but typically performs live with violin, guitar, viola, and ukulele. As a soloist, Ruby draws upon a lifetime of experience as a songwriter, recording artist, and live performer, creating a unique collaboration of musical styles including elements of her Appalachian roots, classical training, rock, blues, country, and old-time music to forge her own original genre of classic Americana she’s coined “Mountain Soul Music.” Ruby’s musical techniques and smooth, soulful vocals leave audiences everywhere mesmerized.
