Artist History Rob and Barry met in high school playing through another band. When they decided the other band wasn't serious enough, they broke off and formed their own group (which has been changing names ever since). They have finally named the band Ruby Jack, and released a CD with 4 of their best, most requested songs. If you enjoy the music, please email Barry at brhorwit@uiuc.edu.
