CD Release Tour for their new
album titled "Million To One"...
Mike and Ruthy are a musical couple
whose love was forged in New York City amidst
a swirl of rock, anti-folk, and Americana enthusiasm.
They harmonized from the first night they met,
bringing smiles to their friends' faces with original
songs and layering raspy fiddle over pop-strummed
guitar. It was 1999, and their band, Rhinegold,
played to pre-trucker-hat hipsters in the East
Village and then gathered to play more songs around
the cluttered coffeetable at someone's apartment.
Richard Buckner played low on the small bedside
stereo as these young, nocturnal band-mates got
some early morning sleep.
It's true that Mike was originally
recruited by his college to play hockey and Ruth
had gone to school for acting, but now they began
a new path together, crafting songs and recordings
and touring the world. Ten years later, Mike and
Ruthy are married and living upstate with their
new son, William Puck. With 7 years of touring
under their belts with folk band The Mammals,
they have begun a new chapter, one that still
incorporates the best sounds and textures that
old-timey and rock music can offer.
Mike and Ruthy love writing, recording
and playing shows and music festivals as a duo
or 4-piece band. The added joy and demands of
parenthood have given them a new appreciation
for the power of good music and the fine community
of people they have connected with across the
country and the world. Enjoying the beauty of
the moment is their shared goal, and you can hear
it in every song they sing.
