RUBEN V

A man’s path in life is shaped by twists and turns, obstacles and challenges, good fortune and smart decisions. It is the blessed man indeed that finds his way with a really killer soundtrack. Music in all forms has been an integral part of Ruben V’s life - surrounded and supported by a musical family; key moments in his life are marked by memorable performances and songs. He embraced this gift and successfully made it his own. “The power of music is amazing. I’ve known for thirty years that this is what I’ve wanted to do and I’ve had confirmations at every step that this is what I’m supposed to do.” At this point in his journey, Texas-born Ruben V is already an accomplished artist. He’s released seven solo CDs, 14 group albums and averages over 120 shows a year. He’s been awarded the title of “Best Guitar Player” by the city of San Antonio, his current residence, four times as well as “Best Songwriter” and “Best Blues Band.” He’s been tapped for a commercial promoting the pride of Texas, Lone Star Beer. He’s endorsed by several premiere music companies – G&L Guitars, Gibson Epiphone and GHS Strings, just to name a few. He’s shared the stage with such stellar musicians as Gatemouth Brown, George Thorogood, Delbert McClinton and The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Three of the songs from his latest CD, Labor of Shame, are receiving airplay on XM Satellite Radio.
