The Rough Go, is the one-man eclectic, eccentric rock project of Jimmy Ruffian; born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario and living in Toronto. With heavy punk influences, but also glam, classic rock, folk, and electronic in the mix, The Rough Go creates songs of political rage, mental anguish, and overcoming the obstacles.
The Rough Go’s debut single, “Salvage,” is folk-rock leaning with an acoustic guitar at the forefront of the sound, taking different genre elements to make something uniquely his own.
