INFO
In 2008 European singer, songwriter, and guitarist GERD RUBE from Schorndorf Germany 
is promoting his 15th CD release , "This Is Me". This new album contains original 
songs that fit his rough throaty voice perfectly whether the style is acoustic or rock. 

Continuously touring the US since 1993 as a solo, duo or with a four-piece band, Germany's 
(not for long) best kept secret has been building a fast-growing fanbase here and got 
titeled "honorary local" as well as "The Keys favorite German son".

Gerd has recorded with members of the Garth Brook's Band in Nashville, TN and members 
of the Miami Sound Machine. His music-video "Happy Day" was played on MTV Europe for 
several months. One German magazine hit home the point accurately when they wrote, 
"Gerd doesn't want to renew the music - he likes it the way it is!"

Performed on many live stages from Europe to his second home in the Florida 
Keys, from New York to California and many points in-between, his influences range from 
the classics of the Allman Brothers to the cutting edge of vintage Frank Zappa and all 
have found their place in his live stage performances. Throughout the years, Gerd found 
and settled into his own style and could be described as a mix of The Eagles, early 
Bryan Adams, with a little Bon Jovi tossed in for good measure. His unique voice easily 
identifies him and becomes very addictive. The very own version of Prince's classic 
"Purple Rain" has become the finale of his live shows leaving the croud wanting more...!!  



Performances in the US played at:
Key West - Sloppy Joe's, Hog's Breath Saloon, Capt Tony's Saloon,
Schooner Wharf, Turtle Kraals, Rick's, Conch Republic Seafood
Company, Willie T's, Geiger Key Marina, Looe Key Tiki Bar,
