Ruby Slippers

About Me

Welcome to Ruby Slippers World!!

We are a five piece Indie Folk-pop collective from the land of OZ, featuring piano & violin…..as well as numerous percussion and toy instruments (even a type writer!)….to express our unique and emotive sound.

Ruby Slippers combines sweet pop melodies, bouncy rhythms and honest heart-felt vocals...

Moving from delicate ballads to epic rock stomps with graceful ease, our songs will take you to an intimate and beautiful place! ...prepare to be taken on a journey somewhere over the rainbow and beyond......
