Free show! 6-8 PMAt age 23, divorced and determined, Ruthie made it to all three rounds of Hollywood Week on American Idol in 2019. “The insecurity I felt from watching a hundred talented singers perform their original songs pushed me to learn how to write my own. I witnessed the difference between singers, performers, and what it means to be both: an artist.” Since then, she has collaborated with producers and artists across the country, and has billed with the likes of Sir-Mix-A-Lot, Shakey Graves, Magic City Hippies, Die Spitz, and Raelyn Nelson.
A 2024 Sonic Guild grant recipient, Ruthie explains, “I want to make music that makes people feel alive, comforted, and helps connect them to their own joy and pain,” says Ruthie. Every performance is an opportunity to “let my emotional filters down, and invite the audience to do the same.” Her cinematic pop-soul features powerful vocals, moody, soulful tones and slick lyrics evocative of Imagine Dragons, early Maroon 5, Amy Winehouse, and Dua Lipa.
Ruthie continues to hone her craft in Austin, TX. Her debut EP, Sound of Blue, is set to release in September 2024.
