Playing the songs you forgot you loved!   Ruby and Jay Turner of Turner’s Body Shop join the show on Small Venue Music.  

The family band, Turner’s Body Shop, has been entertaining fans across Richmond, Va for over a decade.  They play a unique set of cover songs and original songs that are a joy to see live.   

Jay starts off the show by sharing how he started playing with Ruby when she was only 9 years old.  He shares the journey they began as a duo playing in open mic nights and eventually paying gigs in the central virginia music scene.   Jay talks about how they expanded to a full band by adding his son, Jax, on bass guitar and William McIntyre on lead guitar.

Jay tells a touching story about the origins of the band name and the connection it has to his father and grandfather.  Ruby and Jay talk about their song selections and how and why they pick the songs they play.  Ruby talks about her reasons for being selective in the songs where she sings lead vocal.  Ruby talks about which instruments she plays and how she learned.

The full band joins the show and plays an amazing version of “Memories Worthy of a Song”.  It’s an original song written by Jay about memories he shares with his brother about growing up.

Ruby and Jay return to talk about how they got their start in music.  Jay shares all of the bands he’s been a part of in Richmond going back to his time in Freeman High School.   Ruby talks about the venues she loves and how they handled playing live during the COVID shutdowns.
