Bio: The first thing that comes to mind when you watch a performance by The Blue Ruins is there’s nothing "ruined" about The Blue Ruins!
Contrary to their name they are on the rise.
In a world of false idols and half arsed music, they are a bluesy, rootsy-refreshing act to follow.

Press

“Up and coming folk-rock-blues duo, The Blue Ruins, blew minds at this year’s festival. With their big vocals, intricate melodies and original tracks they filled each stage they walked upon. Kate and Allan Watts released their debut EP, Tin Pot Alley, just last month and thanks to their success over the weekend this has already sold out”

— delilahjayne, The National Folk Festival

“The Blue Ruins, a father and daughter folk duo from Bega were welcomed by a crowd enjoying coffee and the sunshine under the Holy Cow tent on Sunday morning. Their laid-back attitude and witty one liners were a great start to a glorious day.”

— delilahjayne, Summer Rhythm Festival @ Goolabri, Canberra (19-20/2/11)

“Hailing from Bega, father-daughter duo, The Blue Ruins were the feature band of the night. Showing off tracks from their yet to be released album, Allan and Kate winged their night, set list free. They played an array of old and new songs including, Fire Up, inspired by events that followed after a gig played at The Phoenix and title-track off their new album, Tin Pot Alley. Kate’s powerful voice filled the venue and kept heads turning to see the small performer tearing up her own stage. Whether she had guitar in hand or stood behind drums, she loved what she was playing and it came through in her entire performance.”

— delilahjayne, The Blue Ruins, Alice Cottee, Cherie Kotek, John Lollback @ The Phoenix, Canberr
