The Ruby Valley Boys and Barb Wire is a band made up of several ranch owners and… a woman, Barb Pearson, who plays violin and sings.

John and Jim Anderson own and work the Anderson cattle ranch, on the south end of the
Ruby Valley. Steve, the guitarist, manages a ranch as well. Barb is a fine horsewoman
who has a Masters in Education and has taught, and run a day care center. They all sing,
and they all love their music and take pride in the band.

The Ruby Valley Boys and Barb Wire play a mix of county, bluegrass, folk and gospel.
