It's so hard to say good-bye, but we're here to bring some closure to Ruby's Corner. Delaney and Stephen talk the evolution of Ruby's Corner, the impact it had on us personally and as musicians as well as on many of you, and finally, what to expect moving forward from Delaney Gustafson Music! We tease a live performance next month, and other plans for the future. For even more updates, please visit www.delaneygustafson.com and join our email newsletter!

It's the FINAL REVIEW EPISODE! To wrap Season 3, Delaney and Stephen discuss the game of telephone that is arranging Christmas music, stereotypical composers, the hardest piece Stephen has ever had to play on Ruby's Corner, Midnight Mine's parallel fairytale inspiration a la us, how we need a lute and why, getting the whole band together, and MORE in our longest episode ever!

It's Christmas again at Ruby's Corner! For the Season Finale of Ruby’s Corner Season 3, Delaney and the gang are back together for a night of Christmas, crushes and nights so full of love, they're sacred. Including Christmas covers you've heard before as well as NEW songs by Delaney, it's the biggest concert (and longest yet!) in Ruby's Corner. Tori returns with her flute and joins Delaney's arrangement of It Came Upon a Midnight Clear to kick off the show. Then Stephen and Delaney play one more ballad-duet, Midnight Mine, followed by Delaney's solo performance of O Holy Night on the ukulele!(?) The band grows when Jackie and Stephen bring the bass and glockenspiel in You and Me, and finally the whole gang (and CHRIS!) return for the finale: Delaney's original Christmas song: Christmas Crush. This recording was made live on Facebook on December 2, 2021. Special Thanks to Tori Tigges, Alex Tigges, Lily Tigges, Shelli Gustafson, Jackie Gustafson, Chris Tucker, Natalie Tucker, Minerva Taylor and Stephen Taylor and all of you for making this episode possible!

It's like a love letter from Jackie! While circumstances prevented us from recording our conversation about Jackie's Ruby's Corner experience, Delaney is here to review it all in this intimate review of some of her thoughts and Jackie's as they discussed their performances together. Not only do we learn about Jackie's musical background with the bass (not her first instrument or her last!), but we get snippets of their childhood music lexicon, their high school choir, and more about Jackie's personal experience performing in her first post-COVID gig. There's great metaphors and even a great bass pun ahead, so let's talk about Jackie and that bass!

In this penultimate review episode of Ruby's Corner Season 3, Delaney and Stephen talk big emos that we emo, major chord ennui, our philosophies of dating, Pat Pattison master songwriter, Jackie's premiere on the show, Stephen's Delaney song rubric of Delaneyness, and why Finding Again is perhaps the most Delaney song ever.

In this penultimate episode of Ruby’s Corner Season 3, it's all about endings... and beginnings! From the heart-wrenching The End, to the bombastic Finding Again featuring Stephen on violin, it's a milestone night as this era of Ruby's Corner begins it's end. Delaney also introduces a new special guest: Jackie Gustafson! ...who premieres the electric bass on Ruby's Corner in moody songs In the Name of Nothing and The Moment Between Us and the Ground.

This recording was made live on Facebook on November 18, 2021. Special Thanks to Shelli Gustafson, Jackie Gustafson, and Stephen Taylor and all of you for making this episode possible!

As is apparently due for the fourth episode of Ruby's Corner seasons, it's time to get deep! Stephen and Delaney wax philosophical about love, loss, the binding power of music and the importance of forgiveness. But we also talk 1. how crazy it is that this is the first time Stephen played Lilies and Lace with Delaney despite years of collaborating, 2. how top voted Delaney songs are surprisingly subdued, and 3. we (almost) make a crack at Eastman. Finally, we discuss the string parts Stephen plays and Delaney wrote (and Mark wrote), the first formal performance of Angel since 2011, and we get personal wondering what Delaney's Dad's thoughts of these songs would have been. And don't miss our discussion of Stephen's violin's name--or how his cello apparently still doesn't have one--at the end! For more information, visit delaneygustafson.com !

Delaney (and her keyboard Ruby) celebrate those we’ve loved and lost with two new songs and special guest, Stephen Taylor! Delaney and Stephen open with new soulful love song Breathe with Me and continue the soaring cello lines with fan-favorite tearjerker, Lilies and Lace in tribute to Delaney's dad. Then Delaney reprises Paper Plane solo before rejoining Stephen, this time on violin, for Angel, venerating Delaney's late faith-filled friend Risa. This recording was made live on Facebook on November 4, 2021. Special Thanks to Mark Milberger, Natalie Tucker, Chris Tucker, and Stephen Taylor and all of you for making this episode possible!
