Ruby Hummingbird began playing the Harp in 1984 after giving birth to her first child. Ruby had a recurring dream that she played the harp to soothe her infant and she followed her dream and learned to play!
After graduating from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, Canada, Ruby moved to Pennsylvania in 1990 and started the Sassafrass Harp business with her husband, David Drain.
Ruby has taught harp in private, group and workshop settings.
