Ruby Dice

Ruby Dice is an Austin-based Americana artist, bassist, and bandleader known for blending roots-driven songwriting with a bold, modern edge. Originally from Gunnison, Colorado, her sound pulls equally from mountain grit and Texas soul — equal parts country, rock, and raw honesty.

A sought-after bassist and collaborator, Ruby has shared the stage with Brian Wilson and recorded her first release alongside members of Band of Heathens, setting the foundation for a career built on musicianship, collaboration, and deep ties to community. She fronts her own band while remaining deeply embedded in the Austin music scene, frequently collaborating with local and regional artists across genres.

Ruby was voted Best Bassist in Austin this year, a reflection of her growing presence both onstage and behind the scenes. She is currently preparing the release of a collaborative album and documentary project featuring more than a dozen Austin artists — a love letter to the city’s creative ecosystem and the relationships that sustain it. The project blends music, storytelling, and film, capturing the spirit of collaboration that defines her work.

Whether performing full-band or stripped-down, Ruby Dice brings heart, humor, and conviction — creating music for people who want to feel seen, move their bodies, and leave a little more connected than when they arrived.
