Ruby In The Dust aka Michael Thomas Band

About Me

Ruby In The Dust aka The Michael E. Thomas Band, is a 3 piece rock band based in Northern Ireland and New Jersey. It features Michael E. Thomas on guitar and vocals with Robert Cardwell-on drums and Michael Maitland on bass. The latest cd "Wreckless Abandon" is available at cdbaby.com. The band plays it's own original songs from their last 4 albums along with covers by Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, Pink Floyd as well as the legendary Tommy Bolin.

We're available as a Rock/Pop cover band/original/solo acoustic show. Just drop us a line. 9pm Sundays we are at the Imperial Bar in Ballymoney. We do originals as well as a complete Beatles Tribute, Jimi Hendrix/Robin Trower/Stevie Ray Vaughn Tribute, as well as Led Zeppelin/Deep Purple. Many more special nights are in the works. 10pm Thursdays I'm at the Atlantic Bar in Portrush with an acoustic set playing everything from 50's songs to current tunes. Hope to see you there. Thanks!
