Gary Ruiz

California raised, Gary has been brought up with a wide range of musical exposure. His roots stem from the early folk and blues such as Leadbelly, Sonny Terry and Hoyt Axton mixed with Cream, Buffalo Springfield, Santana and the Grateful Dead. Other influences of poet/musicians along the lines of Chad Cronkite, neil Young and Dylan round out Gary's foundation.

Always open for input from 40's swing to garage crunch, he is excited to be part of this contemporary orchestra that encompasses a wide range of musical nuances.
