Sometimes the art and artist prevail through our society's system of normalcy. This certainly seems to be the case for 23 year old Marshall Ruffin. The roots and blues singer-songwriter-guitarist grew up in typical Americana, but where science was at the fabric of the family not art. As a youngster Marshall discovered his musical connection while listening to the radio. Then, after finding a guitar in the family attic during his high school years, Marshall began to teach himself to play.
These are photos from concerts where Marshall Ruffin played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
