Ruffin

One of the greatest musical moments of my life: closing our set while opening for Big Country, playing “We Are the Light.”

Mid-song, Mike—fronting Big Country on that tour—walked on stage and sang the second half with me. I was stunned. I was 12 when I first heard The Alarm… and now I was sharing the stage with him.

RIP, Mike. You lit the way for so many of us. You’ll be deeply missed. 💔

Got some new music on the way, for 2025!!

Hello!

Greeting a day later from Chicago. Yes socially distanced but loving the Sun.. be well.

I made this video for all my friends living under a stay at home order (pandemic lock down) across the globe. Well to all my friends period. Around 4:00 yesterday I asked a few people to send me a hello as we are all stuck inside. I know there is a lot of stress out there and being isolated doesn't help. So, just remember we are all still connected.

In the span of 45 minutes yesterday, I was hit with a lot of negativity, so here is some positive. It was last minute I know but I got responses immediately. To my friends in Scotland, Germany, Australia, and spread throughout the States, thanks for participating in the positive.

PS, I know this is sloppy but I threw this video down in a few hours, it's the vibe that counts.
