Line-Up
Ruby and Summer Spiro
For years Ruby and Summer's dad recorded the girls singing separately in the small
recording studio in their garage—a space Summer and Ruby endearingly call
the "Little Glitter Box." But it wasn't until 2004, after hearing their voices mixed
together on a song their dad had recorded, did the two sisters decide to pool their
talents and form a band. "When we heard our voices blended and harmonized, it was
so cool to us; it just felt right and natural."
As for songwriting, the girls differ in their approach. Ruby likes to write about
real people and actual events in her life. This can be felt clearly in "Breathe,"
a slow, thoughtful song about taking a moment to breathe so you don't lose all control.
Summer enjoys writing about fantasy worlds she'd like to live in. For instance,
in the upbeat, sun-splashed song "Mermaids and Poets" she sings: "I want to live
my life with mermaids and poets/the ones who fly and fall from the stars/'cause
love comes to the people who show it/home is right wherever we are." It's within
these songs that Ruby and Summer combine their personalities to create music that
is both genuine and poetic.
Since Ruby Summer formed in 2004, the girls have shared the stage with large pop
acts such as Honor Society and Mitchel Musso. They have also had two songs featured
on the soundtrack of the Disney movie Tinker Bell (2008). And on September 3, 2010,
the duo signed their first exclusive recording deal with Seany Records. The label
hopes to expose the world to the fresh and heartfelt music of Ruby Summer. It's
time to open the Little Glitter Box and let these stars out.
