Update #14: Joe's Pub NYC, August 8, 2010 7:30 pm
Hello Folks,
The money is in the bank and the release is underway! The official release date and radio "add" date is Tuesday, July 27th and a couple weeks ago we mailed 600 copies of the record to radio stations nation wide! This wouldn't have been possible without your help! (Soon we'll be letting you know which radio stations you can request us at!)
Also, we wanted to let you know that we have an important show coming up at Joe's Pub in New York City on Sunday, August 8th at 7:30pm .
Joe's Pub is one of New York's premiere listening rooms and we are thrilled to be playing there early on in our 40 date CD release tour! We need all the help we can get filling that room so we're casting a wide net to our friends and fans to spread the word far and wide.
If you have music loving friends in New York City kindly let them know about our Joe's Pub appearance. It's going to be a special evening with Mike + Ruthy and our 5 piece band featuring Jacob Silver on bass, Craig Santiago on drums, Rich Hinman on pedal steel and Aoife O'Donovan singing harmonies!
Here's a link to the Joe's Pub Facebook event!

Project By

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
