Ruby Dee Philippa

Ruby Dee, from the high-octane roots and rockabilly act Ruby Dee and the Snakehandlers, brings many years various life experiences along for the ride. Ruby grew up on both Northern California foothill ranches and the cotton and oil fields of the Texas panhandle. She enrolled in college at 15, and dropped out to hit the streets as a punk. Later, she spent years fishing in Alaska, driving big rigs, and owning restaurants in Seattle, Washington, until she finally gave all that up to settle down back in Texas, where she is at long last furthering her career as a writer and singer/songwriter. These experiences are reflected in Ruby's writing style, and in the band's hopped up high-octane successes on stage and on the road.

Ruby's latest release, "Live From Austin Texas", out on Dionysus Records, charted for many weeks on the AMA and Texas Third Coast Music charts and has earned the band its first Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album. Her cookbook, "Ruby's Juke Joint Americana Cookbook", includes 120 original recipes and is accompanied by a CD of great Americana music to cook by, including original songs by Marti Brom, Two Hoots and a Holler, Rockin' Lloyd Tripp, Teri Joyce, Earl Poole Ball, and others, as well as a brand new song by Ruby for the CD: Home Cookin'.

Ruby also hosts her radio program 'Ruby's Kitchen Radio Show' which airs every Saturday from 5pm-5:30pm CT on over 800 stations around the world via internet and satellite radio. Tune in to hear what Ruby's cooking up each week!
