Your Profile
We’re a string band and we play folk music, with pop, classical, Celtic, old-time and bluegrass influences. I write the songs and the guys bring their magic. We all sing. We’re looking for people to come on our intimate folk journey with us, who aren’t afraid of getting a little emotionally involved.
Keeping Busy
We’ve been touring pretty much constantly since we released These Wilder Things, in 2013, playing shows in North America, the UK and Europe, and now heading over to New Zealand and Australia. We couldn’t be more excited.
Best Gig Ever
We had the honour of opening some shows for Mark Knopfler about a year ago, six of which were at the Royal Albert Hall. It was an incredible experience – I was constantly pinching myself.
Current Playlist
I recently heard Beck’s newest record, it’s stunning. I saw Nickel Creek on their reunion tour this summer, they were on fire.
Your Ultimate Rider
My needs are pretty basic, really. If there is a dressing room, and it has a heater in it, I’m happy. If we have access to some kind of yummy local/organic fare then I’m over the moon. If there is a bar of fair-trade dark chocolate lying around, that’s the icing on the cake.
Catch THE RUTH MOODY BAND on Wednesday March 4 at the Melbourne Folk Club and at the Port Fairy Folk Festival from Friday March 6 – Sunday March 8.
