The GemsTones are an energetic and youthful all-1950s rock ‘n’ roll band from the North Shore. Specializing in the hits by Elvis, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash and many more from this Golden Age of American music! Join Rockin’ Ruby, Swinging’ Sapphire, Angsty Amethyst and Electric Emerald on a nostalgic and musical journey through time and space! They call themselves The GemsTones because each member is a gem; Rockin’ Ruby plays electric guitar, Swingin’ Sapphire plays acoustic/electric guitar, Angsty Amethyst grooves on bass and Electric Emerald beats those drums. The GemsTones are especially known for their stunning vocal harmonies. The music of The GemsTones keeps you young at heart! It’s fun for all ages, gets you movin’ and groovin’ and evokes a feeling of nostalgia from days gone by; even if you weren’t there to experience the 1950s.
