An Americana songwriting duo with a growing following on the acoustic folk scene, Mike & Ruthy are writing, recording and touring clubs and festivals.

It is 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. Their most recent duo CD has been well received by fans and critics alike. "When most n
