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, viola, mandolin, banjo, bass, and piano, but typically performs live with violin, guitar, 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.”
When not performing regional and local shows, Ruby tours throughout the U.S., routinely opens for national acts who visit and perform in Pittsburgh, and records in the studio. She is currently producing her 5th studio album set to release in summer of 2024.
Ruby’s musical techniques and smooth, soulful vocals leave audiences everywhere mesmerized.
Singer-songwriter Megan Bee writes with an unquenchable wanderlust and a deep love for the land. Her album "Cottonwood" has been called "as real as it gets" and was listed in the best of 2022 by Americana UK and No Depression Magazine. Her music is a blend of distinctly homespun vocals, acoustic simplicity, yearning soulfulness, and winsome storytelling. Her background as an environmental educator, farmhand, and vagabond once took her into a desert wilderness where she found her voice around a campfire. She bases in the rolling hills of Athens, Ohio and draws influence from the collision of Appalachian folk and modern songwriting.
