**Mark Rubin** is a Texas-born musician and producer known for his eclectic fusion of Jewish roots music with Southern Americana. A founding member of the avant-garde bluegrass band The Bad Livers, Rubin has spent decades blending klezmer, punk, country, and swing into a vibrant "Tex-Jew" sound. A multi-instrumentalist (upright bass, tuba, accordion), he’s celebrated for projects like *Rubinchik’s Orchestra* and solo work that bridges his Jewish heritage with his Lone Star upbringing. His releases, from the fiddle-driven *Texas Fiddle: Okie Guitar* to the irreverent *Hill Country Hannukah*, reflect his knack for mixing cultural traditions with a dash of humor and grit. Based in rural West Virginia, Rubin remains a spirited advocate for roots music’s cross-cultural connections.
