The Atlanta, retro-styled soul band Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics stepped into our studios for a mini concert and an interview. Raised by east Indian parents in Canada, Ruby has many inspirations to thank for her classic sound (with a twist). She taps into the classic tunes of Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Etta James and Curtis Mayfield to unlease her powerful vocals.

On Second Thought's Virginia Prescott sat down with Ruby Velle, from Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics to talk about her inspirations behind the soulful music.

The band released their latest album “State of All Things” last April. They will be performing at Bragg Jam in Macon on July 28th.

Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics also stopped by our studio for a mini performance. The song from their performance is called "Way Back When."
