I get many interesting Perth muso’s and artists, fashionista’s, stylists, collestors and fabulous people in the shop. Miss Ruby Boots is just one of them.

What inspires you to get out of bed in the mornings/afternoons?

My heart starts beating faster about half an hour after i open my eyes at the thought of what the day brings, i usually don’t get up till that happens, so life really… thats what inspires me.

The last song you wrote…what was it about? These damn grey clouds that keep rolling in, and how music is what keeps me company, and is by far the best type of company over these rainy grey winter months, great writing weather!

The Bluebird’s whistle can’t be heard no more

The Suns gone missing and the days they seem a chore

Everything is different its no time to ignore these

Grey clouds

Who are you listening to at the moment? The new Black Keys Album, Ray LaMontagne, Death Cab for Cutie “Plans” and Ryan Adams “Heartbreaker” are the four CD’s i have had on heavy rotation of late, On my iPod I have Nada Surf, The Ghost Hotel and Boy n Bear that is getting most of the recent attention.

Ruby Boots. Why/how’d you start? I started playing the guitar when i was working on boats about 6 or so years ago, it kept me sane and took me to another world when i was stuck out at sea for weeks at a time, once i started writing songs i couldn’t look back i wouldn’t change a thing now!! Music is too delicious, I’m always finding new flavours, it gets better and better.

Five words to describe yourself: excitable, passionate, fast, loud and loving.
