Ruby Dee and The Snakehandlers

So You  want some different Alternative Music. You might want to check out Alt-Country Combo, Ruby Dee and The Snakehandlers on October 10, at Old Ironsides in Sacramento.

They are a flamboyant country-rock-honky-tonk-rockabilly mix and rafter-rattling live shows. MILES FROM HOME, the band’s second full-length recording, has garnered critical acclaim and airplay. Seattle Weekly called the album’s lineup “one twangy gem right after the other,” while Country Standard Time detailed more: “The album starts off at highway speeds with an appropriately half-sizzling, half-smoky take on ‘Settin’ the Woods on Fire’ … ‘Comes a Time’ and ‘Round and Round’ demonstrate that Philippa and the band can slow it down as deftly as they can kick it up … With plenty of shimmer breaking through the road dust, ['Cry All Over Me'] ends the album on a high country-soul note.

So if you want to have some fun and see a great show check them out.
