Stella Ruze

Stella Ruze is an award-winning folk rock band from Philadelphia, PA. They blend four-part vocal harmonies with infectious rhythms and horn arrangements to create a new, genre-bending sound.

They have been featured on WXPN and Radio 104.5, and won the Folk category of the 2019 PHL LIVE Center Stage Awards. They closed out their 2021 season opening for Yonder Mountain String Band and released the single, “Pinch of Salt” in 2022. Now, with an EP, LP, and full-length album to their name, Stella Ruze is producing new material for 2023.
