Ruby and the Dukes

We play Vintage, Rock ‘n Roll, Blues, Rockabilly, Retro Swing & Postmodern. The band was formed in 2015 by the Ex Mint Royale guitarist Chris Thorn.

A Vintage 1950’s R&B, RocknRoll, Blues, Rockabilly, and Retro Swing Band!

A musical force that transports audiences back to the golden era of the 1940s and 1950s. Led by the captivating vintage singer, the band offers a powerfully electric performance that ignites the stage with their authentic and soulful renditions of classic hits.

The band’s main lineup comprises a talented ensemble, including a skilled double bassist, a masterful saxophonist, a grooving drummer, and a versatile guitarist. Their combined energy and enthusiasm bring a unique flavour to their musical projects, creating a dynamic sound that captures the essence of the era.

The style, sound and theme of the band is authentic for that era and will get people Jivin, Strollin & Boppin!
