Stick Figure is an American reggae and dub band based in Southern California.

In 2012 Woodruff released the fifth Stick Figure album, Burial Ground, to critical acclaim. The album reached no. 1 on the iTunes and Billboard Reggae charts. The band began touring with a new line up after the release of Burial Ground, and has since toured throughout the United States with reggae groups such as Rebelution, The Green, Passafire, Tribal Seeds and The Expendables.

The group's sixth album, Set in Stone, was released in November 2015 and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart, also reaching No. 101 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on Heatseekers Albums chart.
