Forming The Rubies
Gina Jo Hanson joined The Rubies when she was a Junior in high school shortly after reuniting with her older sister, Bethany Jo Hanson. She had already been close friends with Sarah in elementary and middle school, so she happily joined The Rubies shortly after they were formed. The band created songs that were instrumental, mostly comprised of loops until 2016 when drummer, Danni Capula, recommended that the band try a twisted children's tale themed album with singing and lyrics.

She isn't one to shy away from a solo song with crazy runs, high notes and screams, but also doesn't mind doing back-up.

 * Animal
 * Breaking You Down (co-founded with Beth)
 * Blood Bath
