More about the show

Their melodic guitar sounds coupled with their unique, distinctive vocals are a perfect match that can’t be denied. Songs like “Fire and Rain” and “Margaritaville” will take us back in time as we celebrate tunes made famous by these two Artists.

 

The Ruby Room series is hybrid nightclub/concert experience celebrating American music and culture.
