Described as “indie-roots trailblazing high-octane Americana”, The Mammals make music for a world that has forgotten how to listen. Formed by Mike Merenda and Ruth Ungar, The Mammals emerged from the fertile soil of the folk tradition. They carry forward the lineage of protest music, family harmony and grassroots resilience and weave them into something alive, awake and stunningly contemporary. The Boston Globe calls them “A party band with a conscious.” The lineup includes Ruth Ungar Merenda, Mike Merenda, Tim Morrison, Scott Melici, and Brandon Morrison.
