Hi gang,

The Cleveland music community lost one of its own early yesterday morning. Backstreet Blues Band drummer Bubba Ruscin passed away suddenly just before 1:00am Saturday morning. In addition to being an awesome drummer, Bubba was one of the kindest, most humble souls you’d ever meet. My deepest condolences go out to Bubba’s family, bandmates and friends. Godspeed on your journey home Bubba. Heaven just gained one hell of a drummer. :c(
