All the Way to Rockville

All The Way To Rockville

The past couple of years have been unpredictable and challenging to say the least. In the midst of it all (covid, social and political unrest, my own chronic health issues) these songs emerged. They are simple songs with simple messages, all of them personal to me. They speak to the old standbys of faith, hope, and love (or the lack thereof), but also aging and society and finding one's place in it.

I recorded these songs over the past three months in my free time as best I could with a single mic in an untreated room.

Thanks to my wife Rosaleen for endless support and encouragement. Thanks to everyone who listens, loves, and supports, especially Jarad Bushnell, Thomas Torrey, and Ben Kniaz. You have all helped form this collection of songs in some way.

And thanks to the new listeners who have either reached out or responded to me over the past month. It's been great connecting with you! I hope you enjoy these tunes.

Much love,
Reuben/Ginger Bug

Conceived in a basement in north central Connecticut, Ginger Bug is an indie rock band with a genius for stark, vivid storytelling. In the alternative singer songwriter tradition, the three-piece ensemble spins tales of latent sorrow, forgotten places, and the indomitable human spirit.

Starting out in 2017 as a recording project for Reuben Torrey whose catalog of songs had been growing for over a decade, Ginger Bug eventually added the talents of bassist Dr. E and drummer Jesey Meche. The trio now form a tightly knit unit whose dynamic interplay breaths new life into Torrey's body of work.
I’m based in north central Connecticut.
