RANCH\HOUSE is a Hill-Country-Indie-Folk-Rock outfit from San Antonio,TX. Founder, S.Brady Dietert, is an architect living and working in San Antonio. He has been writing songs since 1995.  Being raised near a the small town of Kerrville, TX, on an old family ranch, he gained a peculiar point-of-view that is reflected in his songwriting and lyrics. He aspires to continue the strong storytelling tradition of Texas songwriting while blending elements of avant garde & indie rock styles.

S.Brady Dietert seeks to create songs that speak to the human spirit with honesty and optimism while acknowledging the enormous capacity to feel despair; he explores the experiences that take us there and bring us back.

S.B.D. left his small Hill Country village to play music in Austin in 2000. Then he went out west to Oceanside, California to surf for a year. He then returned to attend Texas State University in San Marcos 2002-2005 where he frequented The Cheatham Street Warehouse a place Kent Finlay considered songwriting night to be as sacred as church.  It is an environment where people actually think about poetry, lyrics and quality of craft. Since then, he has lived in Austin, College Station, Dallas, and currently lives in San Antonio where he is pursuing his career in architecture.  All the time finding the heart beat of each city, writing and playing music. 

Music is his compulsion...
