All My Shades of Blue

Whether it’s their collaboration with the legendary producer Rick Rubin or a string of performances from Glastonbury to Coachella, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter siblings Henry and Rupert Stansall, known by their moniker Ruen Brothers, are making a mark with a sound that intersects the early days of rock and roll with a dynamic present day act. Inspired by The Rolling Stones and The Everly Brothers, the two would scrounge for gigs in their blue-collar hometown of Scunthorpe, England. It wasn’t until a move to London and the success of their track Aces, that the boys went from pub performers to BBC radio staples. The brothers quickly gained fans, none more influential than iconic producer Rick Rubin, who quickly took the brothers under his wing. “I liked that their songwriting seemed like it was from another era,” explains Rubin. “It’s making something new again with these traditional influences.” The brothers’ artistic background come into full focus on their debut studio album All My Shades of Blue, produced by Rubin and featuring Henry on acoustic guitar and Rupert on electric and acoustic guitar, harmonica, and bass. The album also includes the talents of such names as Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers on drums, along with The Killers’ Dave Keuning on strings and Faces and Small Faces legend Ian McLagan on keyboards. All My Shades Of Blue was produced by Rick Rubin in Los Angeles Ruen Brothers consists of Ru and Henry Stansall, from Scunthorpe, England. They now reside in NYC.
