Mike Merenda and Ruth Ungar have been the artistic core of beloved "subversive acoustic traditionalists” The Mammals for over 20 years. As a duo, the pair has stripped down that band’s ethos to its core: they stand before us as singers and storytellers, poets and parents, with a down-home approach to Americana that is as raw as it is beautiful. Their tools are familiar—banjo or guitar and fiddle, rapturous harmonies—but their message is timeless.

Community, connection, and sustainability…every song they sing is an invitation to us all to envision the world we want to live in. Mike + Ruthy hit the perfect honest-yet-hopeful note to end on for the final show in our spring 2024 series.
