About Hydden Talent

Hydden Talent is an Austin-born, artist-first entertainment collective led by Ruby Jane (Smith) Hyde—the youngest fiddler to play the Grand Ole Opry and a touring violinist who has performed with Willie Nelson and Lady Gaga, among others.

We curate authentic musicians who can customize setlists—classics and originals—for weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations.

Simple. Human. Unforgettable.

"Ruby at Hydden Talent is absolutely amazing to work with! She's quick to respond to inquiries and always communicates her artists' needs for events. On-site her and her bands are professional and always get rave reviews from our attendees. I highly recommend using Hydden Talent’s services for your next event!"

From Brittany Belko, WTWH Media, Inc.

“I hired Ruby and Angel to play at a reception we held at Fareground and we heard nothing but positive feedback from our attendees on the vibe they brought to the event. Their music selections were on point for the group and they were great performers. From a planning standpoint, Hydden Talent was great to work with and made planning a breeze.”
