Video Review: Ruby Rose Fox “Dance of Frankenstein” Video Reviews by Brian Carroll - October 23, 2015January 21, 20160 I have to admit I am a bit late to the party on this one. Ruby Rose Fox has made some tsunamis in the local music current over the past year or two and when I saw her new video posted I had to finally take the plunge into all that is Ruby Rose Fox...and I am hooked. Soul for days. From the moment Fox's deep and resonant tone enters into the picture I am entranced. The drum thumping like a heart, a very dance like vibe to it, but slow and steady all the while.

Eva, hanging out on her comfy couch, strumming her old banjo and singing her heart out on her rendition of Head and the Heart’s “Lost in my Mind” and being backed by a band made up of herself on fiddle, and background vocals.Girl has got some soul and fire in her voice, we will just ignore the fact
Video Review: The Coloradas “Maxine” Video Reviews by Brian Carroll - March 21, 2013January 21, 20160 Before you even get into this review, if you haven’t already heard the Coloradas first record (self titled) released back in December 2011…stop here, go download it/buy the CD/call up Roy and Bernie and have them play it for you live over the phone and enjoy the hell out of it. It is an excellent piece of work and will give you a great background on these fellas. Did you do it? Ok, now moving on:The core of Portland, Maine based The Coloradas is made up of Roy Davis and Bernie Nye. The two swap vocal/songwriting duties and harmonize fantastically while Davis picks it out on his acoustic guitar and Nye twangs us to high heaven with his banjo. Often times joined by
