Halifax has never been better for dancing since this little foursome decided to drop in to town. Recently featured in Billboard magazine, Halifax's Ruby Jean & The Thoughtul Bees have done a lot in such a small time since their inception a little under two years ago. What began as a bit of a side project for these musicians (Rebekah Higgs, an acoustically based singer songwriter, who recently opened for Jose Gonzales), Jason Vautour (Alright Already, Jon Epworth & The Improvements as well as man-about-town with a guitar), Colin Crowell (Jon McKiel, DJing about town) and Sean MacGillivray (ex-Burdock, currently playing with Jenn Grant and with Jason on Alright Already) has collectively led them to touring non-stop and recording and releasing an album out on Youth Club Records.
I sat down with these four and we talked about their new album, the vagaries of touring (swingers conventions, staying in shitty motels) and what it's like to be four musicians who are known about town for putting on a wicked show.
Tune in
