I was the youngest person to play the Grand Ole Opry, and I’ve had the honor of touring and performing with artists like Willie Nelson, Lady Gaga, Blues Traveler, Sheryl Crow, and more. Whether I’m playing your ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception, my goal is to bring a sense of emotion, elegance, and energy that feels completely unique to your day!
I’m also the founder of Hydden Talent, an Austin-based, artist-first entertainment collective. Through Hydden Talent, I work with an incredible roster of musicians to help couples create a fully customized music experience—from walking down the aisle to the last song of the night! Every detail is thoughtfully curated to feel seamless, personal, and truly unforgettable.
I specialize in reimagining Top 40 and classic songs as elegant violin instrumentals, blending contemporary style with timeless sophistication. In addition to classical repertoire, I can perform across virtually any genre—and I’m always happy to learn custom song requests so your music feels special to YOU!

I needed to hire a violinist last minute for my party, so I asked around for recommendations—and Ruby Jane came highly recommended. From the moment she began playing, she elevated ...
the entire experience. Her talent transformed the atmosphere with elegance, warmth, and a unique charm that guests immediately noticed.
Ruby was professional, well-prepared, and easy to coordinate with, even on short notice. She is an incredible talent—every piece was performed beautifully, with impressive attention to detail and emotion. The music created the perfect background ambiance without ever feeling overpowering.
After her performance, I learned that she also owns an entertainment company, Hyddentalent.com, which will definitely be my go-to for future events.
Overall, I would highly recommend Ruby for any special occasion. Her talent, professionalism, and ability to enhance the atmosphere made a lasting impression.

k down the aisle and when I had a friend suggest I hire Ruby, I knew it was fate. Not only was she responsive and professional in all of our communication, but she also agreed to learn a song very few people know that meant the world to my late grandfather. Seeing my grandma already in tears when I got up to the front made the day so special.
