Artist Biography:
Late Night Marauders are led by whirlwind soulstress Ruth Scott and the piano wizardry of James Wood. Raised on a steady diet of classic R&B and Jazz standards, Ruth developed a deep love for Ray Charles, Nina Simone, Etta James and Tom Waits, to name a few. Hooking up with James, their songs evoke visions of smokey basement clubs in the 1950’s where beatniks and jazz heads would party. Add in the savvy rhythm section and firing horn section and the Late Night Marauders present a unique blend of Soul, RnB and boogie which is an irrepressible delight.
