Mike & Ruthy (USA) from The Mammals
Mike Merenda and Ruth Ungar, are a Hudson Valley, USA, husband-and-wife duo setting the Americana/Folk scene ablaze, as a duo or with their five-piece band, The Mammals.

Singers, songwriters & storytellers, social & environmental activists, poets and parents, they tour with their children in tow, embodying a down-home approach to Americana.

Ruth is carrying on her family tradition, being the daughter of legendary fiddler/composer, Jay Ungar, known for his famous composition, 'Ashokan Farewell' used as the the theme for Ken Burns' landmark documentary, 'The Civil War'.

Mike & Ruthy concerts blend artistry and authenticity, with fiery fiddle & banjo, emotionally potent harmonies, and dynamic stories that deepen the experience. Tap your toes and sing along as Mike & Ruthy “roam effortlessly through the whole span that is Americana, from alt-country to folk to bluegrass." - The Bluegrass Situation
