Ruby Jane - "Be My Own Girl": SXSW 2011 Showcasing Artist

16-year-old Ruby Jane is the real deal. Born in Dallas, TX, she is a fiddler, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist bandleader of "The Ruby Jane Show" showcasing her distinctive Americana mix of country, jazz, bluegrass, and blues. With deep familial and cultural ties to Mississippi where she lived for her first 12 years, she now resides in Austin, TX.


Ruby Jane exhibited a strong connection to music early, and began classical violin instruction at the surprising age of two-years-old. At age eight, Ruby shifted her focus from classical to old-time and bluegrass music. After only six fiddle lessons, she won first place in the first fiddle competition she entered at the McFarland Mall in Tuscaloosa, AL, beginning a run of victories and increasing notoriety as a fiddle prodigy.
