The Rubes was the brain child of Pet Kozak, Neal Grandstaff, Ray Brasfield and Nick Lowery and eventually went beyond a quartet performing, writing and recording original material to a twelve piece Country Music Show that did warmups at the Oregon Jamboree, five years in a row, opening for Sawyer Brown, Dwight Yokum, Reba McIntyre, Kenny Rogers, and Lee Ann Womack. They continue to show up, from time to time, around the Northwest even as recently as 2021. Hope to see ya’ll sometime.
