Sam Brooker, a City of De Pere native, has a musical vibe that blends disco, R&B, smooth jazz and '70's funk. Although Sam has never toured or received radio play, his 100,000+ downloads proves his music has found an audience. Now living in Nashville, Tennesse, Sam joined with Ruby Amanfu to form the duo, Sam & Ruby. Ruby moved from Ghana, West Africa, to Nashville at the age of three. Her career began in 1999 after a brief stint at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Seven years later, Ruby combined her musical talents with Sam. Their album, The Here & The Now, will be released in 2008.
