HURRICANE RUTH - OCT 2  |  1:40PM

Hurricane Ruth is old school, real and raw. Her vocals are deeply rooted in the blues, but make no mistake she can rock the house! She is cut from the same cloth as Big Mama Thornton, Janis Joplin, and Tina Turner. Hurricane Ruth pulls from all these greats to create her own unique sound. Hurricane Ruth is a powerful, unpredictable, ever-changing MUSICAL FORCE OF NATURE!

The Glendale tavern, in Beardstown, Illinois, was Milt La Master’s, (Ruth’s father), business. Sunday at the Glendale meant jam sessions. Musicians came to Glendale from all over the region to perform. Many genres were represented: blues, jazz, country, and big band. All these styles are represented in the music Ruth writes and performs today. Ruth remembers, at the tender age of three, sitting on her dad’s lap, while he played drums in these jams. She would keep time on the ride cymbal while he played. These Sunday sessions are some of Ruth’s earliest and fondest memories.

Hurricane Ruth earned her name because no one believed that such a large sound could come out of such a small woman!

Ruth has performed with John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Willie Dixon, Taj Mahal, Ramsey Lewis Trio, Sam & Dave, Fenton Robinson, Maynard Ferguson, and his orchestra, and most recently; Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Royal Southern Brotherhood, Ronnie Baker Brooks, and Mike Zito.   

Ruth has also opened for renowned rockers: Heart, Judas Priest, Joan Jett, and The Blackhearts & Steppenwolf, just to name a few.

The great WILLIE DIXON once told Ruth “You’re the only hurricane I can appreciate”.
