# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Mammals- Americana * Indie-Folk* Blues
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 17 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Reviving the Rebel Soul of Americana 

The Mammals bring high-energy, heart-forward Americana that bridges audiences of all ages. With string-band fire, indie-folk depth, and socially conscious storytelling they create a live experience that’s both a celebration and a call to connection. Mike Merenda & Ruth Ungar are known for rafter-raising performances, pin-drop balladry, and a rare ability to move crowds from dancing to reflecting and back again. Their 2025 double album, Touch Grass Vol. 1 & 2, explores freedom, kinship, and ecological repair. 

Formed by Mike Merenda and Ruth Ungar, The Mammals emerged from the fertile soil of folk tradition, but not as preservationists. They listened closely to the past but their instinct was always restorative rather than nostalgic. They carried forward the lineage of protest music, family harmony, and grassroots resilience, weaving them into something alive, awake, and stunningly contemporary. Their songs carry the emotional clarity of people who understand what is at stake—not just politically, but spiritually, culturally, even ecologically.
