Ruby Rae

Ruby Rae writes and performs music that defies easy categorization: a catalogue of influences would include Wanda Jackson, Mazzy Star, and Lori McKenna. Both vibrant and dark, simultaneously catchy and psychological, the sound is cinematic and complex, drawing on diverse sources that include folklore, mythology, horror films, and autobiography. The albums are conceptual and thematic; her full-length 2012 release “Night of the Psychopomp” was an otherworldly exploration that drew upon the myth of the spirit guide and a personal journey to understand the grief process. Ruby Rae's latest record was inspired during her residency at the Akumal International Art Residency in Mexico (2015). The songs create a journey inspired by personal transformation, Mayan legends, tropical + desert landscapes, hiraeth and nostalgia, and film noir. "The Uncanny" was released on July 8th, 2016. Ruby Rae's latest full length record, "True Crime," is all neo-surf noir, rockabilly swagger, and torch-song orchestration with cosmic american nostalgia mixed in. True Crime was produced by Lawson White of Good Child Music, and released Sep 9 2022. Ruby Rae is an independent recording artist. She often collaborates with talented musicians and artists including Ed Coleman (The Ex­Debutantes), Olivia Mancini (Astra Via), Tyler Beckwith (The Woods), Colin Dempsey (Supersmall), and producer Lawson White.
