About this project
Anyone can record and manufacture a CD these days, but how many DIY artists put the same money and effort into a proper release?
For our third release, MIKE + RUTHY, MILLION TO ONE, we are hiring both a radio promoter and a media publicist to deliver our music to the ears of industry professionals, radio DJs , music reviewers and most importantly music lovers.
We will also be hiring a top level mastering engineer to put the finishing touches on this album and printing CDs as well as vinyl records.
With our team in place and albums in stock we will be touring the country extensively in order to maximize awareness of this exciting new collection of totally unique indie-Americana roots music!

Mike + Ruthy are a magical harmonizing duo from Woodstock, NY that have been described as literate, political, organic, and inspired. Their new recording, Million to One, trades moments of their well-established acoustic sound with an exciting, new electrified edge. The couple's catchy, new indie-folksongs are emotive reminders of love, adventure and determination.
“Gorgeous acoustic music which exceeds a genre such as folk or singer/songwriter.
Two perfectly connected musicians who belong to the absolute top.” - Moors Magazine
"Mike and Ruthy’s musicianship bears the mark of veteran brilliance" - Chronogram
“Some of the best songwriting of their generation” - High Times
“Seemingly descended not just from one famous folkie, but the entire folk tradition itself.”
- Willamette Week
“Folk-inflected and highly melodic pop” - The Noise
