About the Artists:

 

Ruby Dice is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has been steadily gaining recognition for her electrifying, genre-defying sound that incorporates elements of country, soul, blues, and pop.Ruby Dice is a Colorado native who currently resides in Texas and has been performing music for as long as she can remember. At the age of 22, she relocated to Texas to pursue a career in music after beginning her musical career in her family's church band. She has accumulated musical experience over the years by playing bass in a variety of bands, developing as a songwriter, and winning the respect she merits for her musical abilities. She started performing all over the country at this time, sharing stages with artists like Brian Wilson, Dale Watson, and many others. Ruby’s debut album was recorded with Gordy Quist and several members from The Band Of Heathens. This is an up and coming artist you don’t want to miss.
