Influenced by classic acts including The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix, and Nirvana, together their sound is a blend of modern funk and indie-rock reminiscent of  Jamiroquai and Mac DeMarco. The band has become a staple in the Long Island music scene, frequenting venues including Portside Bar & Grill, 89 North, The Velvet Lounge, and BrickHouse Brewery.

"Ever since I can remember I have been surrounded by music. My father repairs woodwind and brass instruments, so since I was little, top-notch musicians have been coming in and out of my home. But music always spoke to me." says singer/songwriter Chris Ruben. Ruben began as a drummer, and first started gigging with bands at the age of thirteen. By the time he was sixteen, he made the switch to guitar and started writing songs of his own. In late 2014, the first version of The Chris Ruben Band was formed. Over time, Chris added and replaced players until the perfect lineup was created. "We are more than a band, we are family."

In a recent review from Mobangeles (http://mobangeles.com/stomach-coil-by-chris-ruben-band/), the band is called "tasty good" with a sound described as "pure grit" for "any fans wanting to pad their musical library with raw and multi-layered musical arrangements", along with Razorfish (http://razorfishreviews.blogspot.com/2019/01/the-chris-ruben-band-stomach-coil.html) saying their "musical talents carry the day here and will be what keeps us coming back for more".

As they continue into 2019 with further recording projects and plenty more live shows in the works, they're excited to rock their showcase at the Grotto Pub in Enola, PA for the Millennium Music Conference on Friday, February 22nd followed by Pianos in NYC on Friday, March 15th!
