The Mammals

The Mammals play old-time string band music the way Jack Kerouac wrote novels with an abandon born of a deep understanding of structure and form. Their sound is wild, mirthful, and masterful. Three young musicians, Ruth Ungar, Tao Rodriguez-Seeger, and Michael Merenda are rekindling folk traditions and passing them on to future generations. The Mammals rouse their audiences with contemporary versions of traditional old-time fiddle and banjo melodies, ballads and original lyric-driven songs. Check out The Mammals, the trio that fans, young and old, are calling a stringband for today."

"The name of the band is Spanish for dreaming but when the hordes come out for Soando, they don't sleepwalk, they dance. And we're not talking a few perfunctory head bobs or butt wiggles, either they dance until they go up in flames".
