The Mammals

They travel America in a large diesel van filled with drums, amps, an upright bass, fiddle, guitars and banjos. They have crafted a show that connects rock and traditional Appalachian music in a very organic way. Fine song writing pulls these players to the front of the pack, and their bold arrangements risk the outer boundaries of frenzy and calm. In a word, dynamic, they are known as The Mammals. There are five current members: Tao Rodriguez Seeger, Ruth Ungar, Michael Merenda, Chris Merenda and Jacob Silver. Tao is the grandson of Pete Seeger and Ruthy is the daughter of Jay Ungar.
