Groovy Ruby – you go, girls!
My kids are very much into music right now, and one of their favorite things to do lately is gather up all the little toy instruments scattered around the house and pretend to be a band. Look, aren’t they just sickeningly cute? They’re fully convinced we’re going to take this act on the road and put out an album. So you can imagine how much fun it’s been for us to review music from Groovy Ruby, an all-girl preteen band put together in 2005 by New Jersey teacher/songwriter Dean Laterra. The songs are original, catchy, and they actually sound…good! Here’s some info from their site:
Think Beatles meet the Go-Go’s…in grade school. Maybe a little Jackson 5, Doo-Wop, and some Ramones thrown in there too. Or how about a cross between Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers? That might be Groovy Ruby.
This all original band sings up on your feet, hooky, catchy, feel good tunes that get kids up and dancing. Led by five tween girls, the band’s songs contain messages of friendship, perseverance, and encouragement, amongst other positive themes.
I feel a special connection to these young singers anyway, since my oldest daughter is the same age as most of them. And here’s the best part – they do lots of live events! How great would it be to get out there to one of their shows, and let these young ladies inspire your own kids to rock out? Here’s the video for their song Change…
I have a houseful of girls (and a little boy!) and I’m always looking for good music for them to listen to – this is a GREAT CD, full of songs with good, positive messages. Consider passing the word along to Santa that this would make an excellent stocking stuffer! It’s only $15.00 and you can get it online right here. Is your kid lucky enough to have his own MP3 player? It’s also available as a digital download. Hook it up, mama!
