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.

Broadway actress and singer, award-winning recording artist and critically-acclaimed Bluegrass powerhouse vocalist, Susie Glaze has been called by BLUEGRASS UNLIMITED "...an important voice on the California Bluegrass scene." A native Tennessean, Susie grew up in the shadow of the Grand Ole Opry, learning the craft of country and bluegrass from a short distance by regular immersion of Flatt & Scruggs, Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn among others. When just 16 she sang for her brother Rick's writer's nights song showcases in Nashville.

Jean Ritchie writes, "Susie Glaze is a fresh young voice… a communicator, to me the most important of qualities in a singer…quite suddenly I know that, with people like this to trust, my music will go on living, and soaring. And so will I."

From Bluegrass Unlimited: "'Home On The Hill' definitely scores a musical home run and is one of the more significant folk efforts of recent memory." "'Blue Eyed Darlin' is a wonderful collection of contemporary Bluegrass music from an important voice on the California Bluegrass scene."

From Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker: "…she can blow the roof off any joint lucky enough to book her."

From KCSN 88.5 Northridge CA: "Susie Glaze does something with a song that only great singers can do…she grabs hold of a song's deepest emotion and purpose and wraps it tightly around your soul."
