Band Mission: Ruby Keeps Burning (R.K.B.)

Ruby Keeps Burning is a rock fusion band.  We like loud guitars, rock attitude and song forms, and big backbeats with greasy grooves.  But we also dig cool chord changes and clever arrangements, stark dynamic shifts, and group improvisation.  This is not jamming; it’s building soundscapes through live musical interaction.  The music is mostly instrumental with occasional vocal or spoken word elements.
