With a weathered ball cap as its emotional centerpiece, Bryan Ruby’s new single threads lived-in memories and identity into a stripped-down country anthem. Featuring warm, modern production and Ruby’s signature baritone, “Ball Cap” captures the quiet power of the objects - and stories - we carry from ballfields to backroads. Written by Ryan Brisotti, Dan Leathersich, and Michael Keys, the song elevates everyday nostalgia into something deeply personal and sonically intimate. For audiophiles and music lovers, it’s a heartfelt listen that lingers - perfect for fans of narrative-rich, emotionally raw country storytelling.

"'Ball Cap' is one of the most personal songs I’ve ever recorded. It’s about the places, the people, and the memories that shape us—how something as simple as an old hat can carry a lifetime of stories and meaning. Coming from baseball into country music, I’ve learned that no matter where life takes you, your roots are always with you. Releasing this one as the summer heats up just feels right, and I can’t wait for y’all to hear it." -Bryan Ruby

“The thing about a ball cap is it’s right there, right above your eyes for everyone to see as soon as they look at you. And whether it’s “my buddy gave it to me”, or “I worked at this job for over 10 years” or “me and my dad used to be season ticket holders”, every one tells a story.” -Ryan Brisotti, Cowriter

“A casual hat has become so iconic in our culture. That choice you made to add it to your closet becomes part of your identity.” -Dan Leathersich, Cowriter
