Kris Ruston has been an integral part of the Kamloops music scene since the late nineties. He attended Capilano University (North Vancouver) and received his Music Diploma (Jazz Studies) in 2004. During his time on the west coast, he studied with some of the most accomplished musicians in the world, recorded in a few of the most prestigious studios in Canada and worked with some of the most innovative producers of our time. Spending most of his time now in Kamloops, he plays with several groups, bouncing from genre to genre, playing guitar, piano and organ, bass, and percussion.
