The band has never been more enthused and on fire with this infusion of talent. These artists joining us for this event will make for a show "not to be missed".

Standing Sun Winery, Buellton
It has been almost exactly a year since we last played Standing Sun, and we are so looking forward to returning with our new CD, Turquoise & Silver. The new CD is a bit of a departure from our last with more focus on "groove", although not without our trademark "rock" and "folkrock ballad" songs. Please come on out and check out our new songs, all written and produced by Ruben Lee Dalton and Bear Erickson at the Erickson Sound Lab in Buellton. Dinner and great wine is available, come have a glass with us!

The Ruben Lee Dalton Barn Party
On November 11th we are launching the RLD Barn/theater, headquarters for the band, as an official venue for music. You're going to love this venue, somewhat reminiscent of Cold Spring Tavern, only a little roomier. The band will be playing many of our new songs on the barn stage from 7 to ?, plus many of our first CD favorites. Cal Taco will be there if you choose to purchase dinner and eat with us, as will a bar (specifics for the bar yet to be determined). We are asking for $10 at the door to cover some of the expenses. We suggest you arrive buy 5:30 for parking and dinner. The sun sets at 4:58, and we are in the country, i.e. no street lights. There is plenty of parking and we will direct you as to where...we suggest bringing a flashlight if possible.
If you are planning on joining us for this inaugural event for our Barn/Theater please RSVP via rubenleedaltonlives@gmail.com email address. The band is so looking forward this event and introducing you to our new songs and this incredible venue!
(The directions to the Barn are misleading: once you make the turn off of Jonata Road through the gates and on to Bobcat Springs Road, continue straight for 1.9 miles, look for signs a long the way, and amber lights at the entrance to the driveway. GPS and the Google Map are not quite that correct.)
Cold Spring Tavern, SANTA BARBARA, CA
What else can we say... We LOVE playing Cold Spring! Its going to be tight, so we are bringing 5 of us. Get ready to get down and dirty!
Figueroa Brewing Co. WESTLAKE, CA
We are so stoked to get out and play our first gig of the year in Westlake! We will be playing as a 5 piece that night. 20+ songs of Rock and Roll!

Molly Malone's Night Club, 575 So. Fairfax Ave., Los Angeles
We have been looking forward to playing Molly's for months. This venue is perfect for the RLD band's music. Molly is one of the few venues that only books bands that play "original music".
