The Wailin Jennys are Nicky Mehta, Ruth Moody and Heather Masse; three distinct voices that together make an achingly perfect vocal sound. NPR wrote of their last Newport Folk Fest appearance, “The Wailin’ Jennys are more than just impeccable bluegrass harmonizers; they’re also terrific bandleaders who give their traditional roots music a sense of real reverence.” It’s this respect for their craft, as well as the Wailin’ Jennys heartfelt, impeccable vocal performances, that has cemented the trio’s reputation in folk and roots music circles.

Mike Merenda & Ruth Ungar are an ethereal harmony duo and the heart of beloved Americana quintet, The Mammals. A cornerstone of the Northeast folk music community for the past 25 years, these exceptional songwriters host their own festival (The Hoot) and in 2025 issued The Mammals’ Touch Grass Vol. 1 & 2, their 19th & 20th albums on their own Humble Abode Music label. While The Mammals quintet is lauded for high energy, deep roots and dynamic performances, a duo concert captivates with acoustic intimacy and moving storytelling that harkens back to the great folk acts of past.
