But you cannot hide “cool” and the powerhouse blues guitar- ZOO BALL ist is definitely that, although he would be the last to say it.

Ruben did move Dee Ann and Skinner Simpson on, however, but found himself growing in a different musical direction. That music was the blues. The road of a musician is not an easy one and this held true for him as well. He was able to learn much about his craft in Austin and would hang out at popular blues clubs such as Antone’s and Steam Boat to hear the top players. “I loved Austin”, he says, “but no matter how many shows I did with these guys Denae Schenker and Ball chairs Roby and Rosa Latimer with Rosemary I was just never part of the cool club. San Antonio was the most welcoming”. Jenevieve Zoch Preston and Stephanie Hill Kowalski and Jamie Kowalski This is where he met local blues legend Jimmy Spacek, “the coolest, kindest guy I had ever met and still is to this day”. Ruben learned a lot from seasoned professionals such as Spacek, Randy Garibay and the late Chris Holzhaus. who Kevin and Fabiola Kaase would be at times brutally honest with him which helped him grow better in his craft to become not only one of the cities top guitarists but a prolific singer/songwriter as well. He began playing to packed houses and became a fixture at clubs on the once thriving St. Mary’s Strip. His manager at the time did not want his welcome worn out by playing too often so booked him only once a month. Although this strategy did work to keep packed houses it was not a successful financial strategy and the popular artist had to live out of his car for a time. Eventually he moved in with various friends for a few years while constantly playing. Instead of it being embarrassing he thought of it as Co-chairs William and Jayme McLean and Kelly Russell Roberto and Aurora Sanchez Laura Ramirez and Jeremiah Hays a humbling experience.
