The Mike + Ruthy Band

Americana stand-outs Mike + Ruthy have assembled a new band and as was the case with their last one, The Mammals, fans and critics alike are showing a lot of love: "Bright as You Can crackles with a live energy and warmth that draw you close. It's a joyful document of a band rounding a corner and into a wide-open field of possibilities. And it's one of the year's standout Americana albums." (Boston Globe) "In the vanguard of today's vibrant folk revival" (PopMatters) "Honoring the great musical traditions of the past... welcoming, with open arms, the future of what music can be" (Folk Alley)

They play with jubilation--as exciting and powerful as any quintet out there, mixing up fiddle and banjo with drums, bass, pedal steel and organ. Their concerts dance from Americana ho-downs to sassy blues, Motown soul, old-timey harmonies, rock-n-roll energy and infectious, inspired songwriting.
