Who Are They?
Rubyhorse was formed by a group of childhood friends who formed a band in Ireland. After touring Ireland for several years, the band decided that their best shot at success was in America and left for Boston, Massachusetts, in 1997.

In just one year in Boston, the band won three Boston Music Awards and signed an ill-fated deal with Interscope Records where they would never release a record. After independently releasing "How Far Have You Come?" in 2000, the band signed with Island Records in 2001 and released the stunning "Rise" in 2002.

Height of Popularity
The band's biggest song was their hit single "Sparkle" from the album "Rise" that was featured in several commercials including an ad for the Stanley Cup Finals. The song peaked at number 12 on the Billboard charts.

Where Are They Now?
After releasing Goodbye To All That in 2003, the band announced the departure of original member Owen Fegan, and decided to split up shortly after.
