Backstory:
Ruddy Bowl is a band that originated in the bustling city of Chicago, Illinois in the spring of 2010. The members, astounding vocalist and bassist Mark “Muddy” Kitchener, gifted guitarist duo, Brad “Red” Jennings and Alex “Ace” Landon, and the highly talented drummer, Dean “Beatman” Collins, found each other in a local tavern, each playing for different bands. Despite their diverse musical backgrounds, they connected over their shared passion for music and mutual admiration for the legends of the 60s and 70s. Over late-night jam sessions and numerous coffee shop gigs, Ruddy Bowl was born.

The band, after their self-titled debut album, faced a difficult time following the sudden passing of Ace. However, the band members decided to continue, to honor their fallen companion and keep the music alive. Today, the spirit of Ruddy Bowl is undying, a testament to their love for music and a tribute to their beloved member, Ace.

“Rusted Chains”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am E G D
Woke up this morning, with the weight of the world,
Am E G D
Rusted Chains around my soul, so old and cold.

(Chorus)
C G Am E
Break these Rusted Chains, set my spirit free,
C G Am E
With music as my healer, I’ll still chase my dream.

(Verse 2)
Am E G D
Through the darkness, in the pouring rain,
Am E G D
I’ll keep playing my blues, to drown my pain.

(Chorus)
C G Am E
Break these Rusted Chains, and let my spirit fly,
C G Am E
With my guitar in my hands, under the open sky.
