Ruby Dee has more venom in her vocals than most sugarcoated country artists, treading through rockabilly, honky-tonk, and vintage swing with a hardcore truck-stop attitude. The Seattle, Washington, foursome is on the road supporting their second release, Miles from Home, which sizzles with high-tempo numbers and slows down deftly with a few soulful ballads. The rafter-rattling live show gives audiences their fix of real, ripping rockabilly. $5, 8pm, Sam’s Burger Joint, 330 E. Grayson, (210) 223-2830.
