Austin, TX — Ruby Dee and The Snakehandlers, the rockabilly wonders of the Northwest, will plays three shows in July with Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash to celebrate with home-base fans the release of the alt-country combo’s second full-length recording, MILES FROM HOME on Dionysus Records, on Tuesday, June 24.

Rumblefish.com calls MILES FROM HOME “good old rock ’n’ roll tunage for that classic western lifestyle with a little boogie in it to boot,” and it has captured the energy of live shows by the band and the band’s honky-tonk-rockabilly-rock ’n’ roll mix.

Ruby Dee and The Snakehandlers will tour the rest of the country this fall to support the release.

Interview times are available as well as press kits.
