Ruth Greene
Ruth is a vocalist and ASCAP songwriter for Jesus Christ starting her ministry in song in 1986. Ruth is as feisty, unconventional and outspoken as her unique sense of fashion and style: best described as the "mantle of Elijah". In the ultra-conservative atmosphere that often exists in the world of ministry, Ruth often surprises and she has been made an outcast in circles that prefer "traditions of men" to the Word of God. Ruth has been called the "healing voice" for years because of the events that typically happen at her concerts and appearances, often without her knowledge until a later time. She is a former world traveler with the armed forces and now seeks to bring the gospel through music to the world. Ruth's work is wide-ranging with a current focus on jazz styling and new sound for the advent of Christ.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
My band is currently on sabbatical. I am considering new additions to improve the flavor of my music.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I live in the Nashville area and am completing writing a new book which has been three years in the making. I am making beginning arrangments for my next CD with original music and lyrics.
Your musical influences
I told you in my introduction, but I feel that I usually prefer a relaxed, yet upbeat jazz sound. I have done country, blues, jazz and everything in-between over the years with a twist for Jesus. I enjoy jazz the most.
What equipment do you use?
I won't go into detail here. I can go it alone with just my voice in the wilds of Africa and like to sing as a soloist in an urban setting or with my band.
Anything else?
If you want to talk with me, just send an email. I would like to hear from you!
