Nashville-based Country Music artist and pro baseball player Bryan Ruby has released his new single, “The Standouts,” a thoughtful ballad about making a real difference by setting yourself apart from the crowd. Streaming and download “The Standouts” on Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, iTunes, YouTube Music, Pandora and more a bryanruby/the-standouts.
“The Standouts” is all about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. This song is for all the good people who haven’t got the recognition they deserve. Bryan Ruby has dedicated this song to his grandfather aka Pops and his sister. Pops is a proud US Army veteran who raised a family of five kids and he’s still inspiring everyone, even at 84 years old. His hard work and can-do attitude are the reasons Bryan’s family is here today. Bryan’s sister teaches middle school math at one of the poorest school districts in the country and this song is for her too. It may be a thankless job, but it’s inspiring to know how passionate she is about helping those kids.

"One of the coolest things about 'The Standouts' is that everybody knows a standout in their life,” expressed Bryan Ruby. “It will mean different things to different people. I love when a song does that."
"This song is for all the kids that are brave enough to go against the grain - the ones who don’t fall in line and just be their genuine selves,” shared co-writer Anthony Fiddler.
"This song, ‘The Standouts’ means a lot to me. For me it’s about giving a nod to those inspiring people on the front lines of making the world a little better,” said co-writer, Chad Sellers. To quote our song, ‘If no one stood up, where would we be now?’”
"A feel good jam that’s also uplifting and inspirational,” stated producer Smith Curry.
“The Standouts” was penned by Ruby, Chad Sellers and Anthony Fiddler and produced by Smith Curry. Recording was done at Pentavarit Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, with mixing by Mark Lonsway and mastering by John Mayfield. David Axelrod served as Vocal Tracking Engineer and Bobby Holland as Sound Engineer.
Studio musicians on the project included Nick Buda (drums), Tim Marks (bass), Smith Curry (steel guitar), Sam Hunter (electric guitar), Justin Ostrander (electric guitar), Luke Moseley (keyboard) and Mark Lonsway (background vocals). Single cover art was created by Max Gordon.
