The Mammals

The Mammals are Ruth Ungar, Mike Merenda, and a cohort of compelling collaborators who form a touring quintet on the fiddle, banjo, guitar, organ, bass, and drums. Identifying as subversive acoustic traditionalists or a party band with a conscience," The Mammals re-emerged from a hibernation period during-which the bands founders explored new songwriting terrain. The Mammals dont suffer from multiple genre syndrome, they celebrate it as if gleefully aware that the sound barriers separating old-timey music, vintage pop and contemporary folk are as permeable as cotton. - Washington Post
"Indeed, The Mammals are all heart, and Sunshiner seems to be packed with ideas about how love will yet win over darkness and fear. - Kim Ruehl, Folk Alley
The Mammals tell stories that are at once topical and timeless, bearing a message of hope and empowerment with a modern string-band sound. - FreshGrass Festival
"Some of the best folk-rock music you will ever hear. - TapeOp Magazine
"The Mammals are better than ever." - Berkshire Eagle

Some of the best songwriting of their generation. - LA Weekly
