FestivaLink.net presents The Mammals
Woodstock, NY band, The Mammals, boast a loyal North-American following, and burst with a dynamic and captivating repertoire. After touring the US for 5 years in a van full of guitars, banjos, fiddles, drums, and upright bass, this quintet is preparing to make some larger journeys.
At a Mammals show, party meets personality. The old-time music that they love is great for rhythmic escape. Interspersed with these dancey numbers, the band’s three singers, Tao Rodriguez-Seeger, Michael Merenda, and Ruth Merenda bring dynamic and heartfelt leads and harmonies to the forefront. At times familiar, and at times original, their songs all have something to say.
Players:
Ruth Ungar Merenda (vocals, fiddle)
Tao Rodriguez-Seeger (guitar, banjo, harmonica)
Michael Merenda (vocals, guitar, banjo, percussion)
Chris Merenda (drums)
Jacob Silver (bass)
