"Some of the best folk-rock music you will ever hear.” - TapeOp

“Nonet marshals the defiant spirit needed to heal a damaged world”
- No Depression

“The Mammals aren’t the first band to mix an indie-rock sensibility with bluegrass sounds, but they’re gradually becoming one of the best.”  - No Depression

“This evening’s show will be remembered as an ‘I was there moment’ by the packed audience that had turned out to witness one of New York State’s Finest treasures.” Read the Graeme Tait review of our April 7, 2023 Kirtin-in-Lindsey performance.

“Woody was in it for the revolution, the quiet churning of good deeds and good thoughts—and good times—with which we sew a hand-me-down quilt of goodwill, one generation at a time. That’s what I’m in it for, too.”

Read Mike’s rumination of Woody Guthrie via folk alley.com

LATEST INTERVIEW For two decades, the Mammals have built a reputation for writing honest songs that not only connect with their listeners on an emotional level, but also explore the idea that people are capable of building a better world. Now, as people in the U.S. are emerging from quarantine and there is much talk about how to go “back” to something better than “normal,” I was curious how the Mammals’ Mike Merenda and Ruthy Ungar were thinking about these things. In our recent conversation for the podcast, we got into those topics, as well as the relationship between music and food, the relationship between passion and productivity, and what lessons they’re carrying with them as they return to the stage with their songs. -Kim Ruehl

“The Mammals tell stories that are at once topical and timeless, bearing a message of hope and empowerment with a modern string-band sound.”- Freshgrass Festival

“Protest folk records are usually reactionary, but somehow Mike + Ruthy seem to have predicted this moment with their new album.” - WMBR “Pipeline”

“The songwriting of The Mammals is firmly rooted in the hand-me-down folk music of politics, community and rural splendor.” - American Songwriter

 

“Transcendent new album from a brilliant group. Do yourself a favor and listen please. Joy-generator right here.” - Rhett Miller

“Nothing short of sublime. 9/10”
- Americana UK

”[Nonet] is big and free and uplifting me at the perfect time! A great f***in’ record.” - Ani DiFranco

“The Mammals are solid-gold-hearted and their music is too. Check this one out. ” - Anais Mitchell

 

"What was likely written as an album about where hope resides in a strange political season, reads now as an album about all the reasons to put our selves aside and protect our neighbors. After all, we humans are capable of all of this when we get together—the hope but also the layers of sound, the ability to turn darkness and fear into something you can crank up with the windows down. Something that can feel a little like freedom, even when you’re not leaving the house.” - Kim Ruehl, Folk Alley
