About Me



Casey Ruff is a singer/songwriter from Custer, Montana, currently residing in his second home of Seattle, Washington. His music is considered to be FRONTIER MUSIC always on the verge of the next personal discovery, as much true self expression as he can manage without starting to lie to himself, and a wandering through self-deprecating introspection to some social commentary before meandering back home with some songs of the angels and demons who sent him walkin' in the first place.
