North of Bakersfield

RUBY DEE & THE SNAKEHANDLERS offer up sweet alt-country Americana-Rockabilly a la Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynette, the Derailers and X. A 5-piece rockin' combo from Seattle, WA that plays country music like it was meant to be played. No big hats, no pyrotechnics, no choreography. Just honest original tunes. Known for their hi-energy live show, the band has made a name for themselves in the Pacific Northwest as a group that delivers as soon as the lights go down, and is performing to capacity crowds in local clubs as well as having performed at larger festivals such as Folklife 2005 and Bumbershoot 2005, along with numerous rodeos and county fairs throughout the state. Produced by Conrad Uno, their debut full-length album North of Bakersfield will blast out of your hi-fi player like a lit bottle rocket!
