SAM & RUBY
TO PERFORM AT
SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL
MUSIC CAFÉ
SAM & RUBY’s Sundance performance is set for Wednesday, January 27 at 2:00 PM at the Stanfield Gallery (751 Main Street, Park City); the performance is part of ASCAP’s Music Café that includes a wide range of musical talent including Brendan Benson, John Forté, The Fray, Holly Palmer & Dillon O'Brian, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, LeAnn Rimes, Matt Scannell (Vertical Horizon) and others.
Since their 1999 meeting at a writer’s night in Nashville, Wisconsin born-and-bred SAM and the Ghana-born and Nashville-raised RUBY’s gentle blend of R&B, folk and pop earned them a 2007 Grammy nomination for their song “Heaven's My Home,” as performed by The Duhks. In addition, an early SAM & RUBY recording of the track was featured in the film adaptation of the beloved, acclaimed best-seller, “The Secret Life of Bees.” Previous years have seen SAM & RUBY performing at SXSW and for the past four years they’ve been featured at New Orleans’ Voodoo Experience music festival. Last year, NPR featured them on the “Tell Me More” feature and in the fall, they hit the road with Eric Hutchinson.
