The Mammals are an indie-roots band from New York’s Hudson Valley led by singer-songwriters Ruth Ungar and Mike Merenda. With their genre-blending mix of fiddle, banjo, guitar, organ, and drums, they’ve spent over two decades crafting socially conscious, emotionally rich folk-rock hailed as “some of the best songwriting of their generation” (LA Times). Their forthcoming release, Touch Grass Vol. 1 & 2 (2025), is a double album that rages, reflects, and rejoices—equal parts protest and balm, recorded at their own Humble Abode Music studio and mastered by Greg Calbi. Whether playing international stages or hosting their semi-annual Catskills festival, The Hoot, The Mammals bring warmth, defiance, and harmony to every performance.
