The Mammals are torch bearers for American folk music of depth and joy. Over the past 20 years they have quietly composed a new canon of original songs that both reflect our culture and present a vision of how the world might yet be. These days we sing about what were for over what were against, says singer/songwriter, Mike Merenda. And what they're for is "nothing short of sublime (Americana UK), bringing the defiant spirit needed to heal a damaged world (No Depression).

Band leaders Mike Merenda and Ruthy Ungar also produce a bi-annual folk festival at the Ashokan Center in Olivebridge, NY called The Hoot (www.hoot.love)

Hailed by many as Americana trailblazers and exuding togetherness on stage, [The Mammals] are also gently-mannered activists with well-crafted songs that successfully ask potent questions and raise issues to probe how we can improve the planet. They deliver their material persuasively and in an eloquent manner with enjoyment of their music underpinning the approach overall. The music is the motivator throughout.
