Blending searing, emotive vocals with a washed-out, psychedelia-steeped sonic palette, Ruby Jones crafts a tempestuous and hauntingly beautiful sound that is uniquely her own. Jones cut her teeth on the local scene before rising to international prominence as a core member of Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes. Their debut album Baby Caught the Bus led to a worldwide publishing and recording deal, extensive U.S. touring, and the placement of their music in globally recognised TV shows, films and advertising campaigns.
From the very start, PBS 106.7FM has led the way for all Melburnians to experience live music with broadcasts from the back of the Prince of Wales in St Kilda more than 30 years ago.
That strong live music tradition continues with PBS Studio 5 Live, weekly live performance broadcasts from the PBS studios. The vibe is grassroots, with an unwavering commitment to quality and diversity.
The sessions consist of a half hour live set and a short interview with one of our announcers.
