Igor Yuzov was born in Germany, raised in Ukraine and studied in Russia. He grew up in the former Soviet Union, where folk music was the norm and rock’n’roll was illegal. A rebellious streak, led him to seek out the forbidden music. As soon as it became possible, Igor left Russia for America with his “Folk’n’Roll” band Limpopo, and was personally greeted by Ronald Reagan.
In 1993, Limpopo won Ed McMahon’s Star Search and their popularity began to blossom. In 1995, Igor dreamed that Elvis Presley came to him and told him to start playing rock’n’roll. Igor and his Russian friends became Red Elvises and gave street performances on Santa Monica’s 3rd Street Promenade. As their crowds grew larger, the City of Santa Monica ordered them to discontinue their street performances.
Evolving over the years, Igor’s music has been labeled “Siberian Surf Rock” which contains humorous lyrics and grooves that forces his audience to dance. Over the past 20 years, Red Elvises have constantly toured all over the world with occasional breaks to record new music and to participate in film and television projects.
As an independent band, Red Elvises have produced 12 studio albums, two live albums, a live concert DVD, and a Greatest Hits compilation. Some of their most notable film contributions include music and or performances in “Six String Samurai”, “Mail Order Bride”, “Armageddon”, “Skippy”, “Melrose Place”, “Fastlane”, “Penn and Teller’s Sin City Extravaganza”, “VH-1 Behind the Music”, and “MTV”. Red Elvises have performed for large festivals, private parties, and played on massive stages such as 2005’s Live 8 Benefit Concert. No matter where they perform, Igor & Red Elvises always bring the party with them.
Things to note:
There is no re-entry once you have arrived. There is a smoking area within the venue.
2. There is limited seating available, so if having a seat/table is important to you, we suggest arriving when the doors open at 5:30pm.
3. We still don’t allow dogs! Dogs are great, but it would be dog madness around here if we let them attend shows. We’d also really prefer if you didn’t leave them unattended in your vehicle either.
4. Outside alcohol is NOT ALLOWED! Violators will be 86’d and The Ruins will hire a stern nun to follow you around and chant “Shame!” at you and it will be really embarrassing trying to explain this at the grocery store or at work.
5. The parking lot does NOT belong to The Ruins. Yes, the actual owners of the parking lot (Mt Hood Railroad) expect you to pay to park. It’s usually about $4. It’s not our deal. We highly encourage people to walk, ride their bikes, or carpool. We have ample bike-rack space here as well.
6. Tail-gating is not allowed in the Mt Hood Railroad parking lot. They are implementing a “no open containers” policy for their entire lot. Please respect their wishes and help us to maintain a positive relationship with our community and neighbors.
7. We do rent out the Grotto Bar and/or the Indoor Bar during concerts, for birthdays, business receptions, etc. Email

9. Each Tuesday show all summer we’ve invited a “Featured Non-Profit” to be at the event, to fundraise and provide info.
10. All concerts (weather permitting) are in our outdoor venue, May through the end of September. All concerts are indoors October through April. In the event of rain in the summer season, we will move the show to the indoor venue.
11. This year our alternating food truck line-up will include: Col. Gorge Crepes, Apple Valley BBQ, Empanadas by Maria Elba, and Frosty Peak Ice Cream.
