Super excited to announce next guest, Rich Ruoff, to The Story!
Rich Ruoff was born in Philadelphia. However his family moved to Lancaster when he was 4. Since then, Rich has left his mark on Lancaster. One of his marks has been founding the internationally known venue, the Chameleon Club. Another was starting famed local festival, Lancaster Roots and Blues which is set to occur July 9th and 10th all over Lancaster City. Rich was also president of a recording studio, Lizard Studios, which won a Grammy award. Lizard Studio recorded a band called Brave Combo who played live on the Chameleon stage. They are a polka/rock band from Denton Texas. They took one song off that recording session and put it on their next record. It was Jimi Hendrix’s "Purple Haze," Polka style. It was their hit single and it is what earned them and the Lizard Studio, the Grammy.
Rich also has been the coordinator and director for many bike races in the national and local Lancaster scene for races such as: Red Rose Races, Rock Lititz Bike Race and Block Party, All That is Good, and more!
