notes
“Marshall Ruffin is evidently some genetic experiment gone right, an amalgam of David Bromberg, Tom Waits
and Leon Redbone.”
Curtis Lynch, Playgrounds Magazine
“Ruffin plays guitar and sings with a prowess that most roots & blues artists develop only after many weary years on the road, yet he’s only 23!”
Lisa Love, Georgia Music Hall of Fame
“The dude can really sing and play – to say I was amazed by his songwriting talent, instrumental abilities and vocals would be an understatement.”
Jeff Hahne, Music Editor, Creative Loafing Charlotte
“Interesting thing... Marshall is so young to have the voice of such an old soul - he gets it. He's transparent when he sings, you can see right into his heart.”
Rebecca Harris, Special Events Coordinator
“I rarely get inspired to say such things, but really - if you're able to see Marshall Ruffin 'live' then you really must. He is just f***ing amazing!”
Geoff Achison, Blues Guitarist Extraordinaire
The twenty-three year old roots and blues singer-songwriter-guitarist grew up in typical Americana, where science was at the fabric of his family not art. After finding a guitar in his attic at age thirteen, Marshall taught himself to play. Just several short years later, he majored in jazz performance at the Berklee College of Music. It was while in Boston, Ruffin recognized and tapped into his songwriting skills and vocal gifts. Within a year after graduation, Marshall moved to Columbus GA [home of Ma Rainey], opened for dozens of regional and national artists, and signed with Jammates Records. After experiencing a Marshall Ruffin performance, one only expects his momentum to accelerate. Rich Man's Dime, his freshman EP, hit the streets February 19th 2008.
