March 10, 2022Outstanding!
We hired Ruby for our Conference reception, and she was incredible. Our attendees had not seen each other for 2 years and were looking to relax and spend some time with each other, and having Ruby there with her incredible voice sure did give them a chance to sit back and enjoy their time together. Such a great time, highly recommend you book Ruby for your next event.

January 1, 2022Beyond Wonderful!
Ruby Jaye is just the best. I needed a professional on short notice for a memorial service. She contacted me right away, confirmed my needs and I booked her immediately. She communicated, showed up early, did everything I asked and more. I was relieved and happy before I even heard her play. Once the music started, it was clear that Ruby was like a gift from Heaven that day. If you need someone for any event, book this woman. You won’t be disappointed!

Ruby’s performance was excellent. She arrived early and had a complete setup ready to go. She played the ukulele and sang for two hours, the guests raved about her performance. I highly recommend her for an event!

- Mike Sion, Music Columnist, Reno Gazette Journal
“Ruby Jaye's singing voice carries a childlike tint in a style that otherwise takes cues from the decidedly not-childlike genres of jazz and Americana.”
