After singing with gypsies in Spain, jamming with Berber tribesmen in Morocco, and eight years of world tours, Sidney native Nancy Ruth returns with a new CD and a new show.

Nancy Ruth, vocals and flamenco guitar;� Ron Hadley, piano; Allan Johnston, bass; Joseph 'Pepe' Danza, percussion; Alfons Fear, trumpet.

Sailing the Gulf Islands as a girl gave Nancy a taste of adventure. Singing her way around the world, from Panama to Singapore, Brunei to Belgium, she found her greatest inspiration while exploring her Spanish roots. A decade of cultural immersion in Malaga, Spain brought her musical sensibilities to fruition: a life-long love of Latin music and flamenco, a respect for her classical training and an enduring fascination of the jazz idiom have informed her songwriting and performance style.�
While touring in Holland, a record producer took note of her talent and offered her a recording deal, resulting in an elegant collection of original and classic Spanish standards called Me Quedo (Home of Jazz, 2008).�

Songs from Spain, Cuba, Argentina, Mexico, and Nancy's originals will be featured.
