Ruth Moody
Known best as the heart and soul of folk band The Wailin’ Jennys, Ruth Moody is also a veteran soloist in the studio and on the road. The Australian-born singer-songwriter is based in Winnipeg, Canada, and is a two-time Juno Award winner. Moody’s biggest fans include Mark Knopfler, who can be heard on Moody’s latest solo album. An emotive guitarist and banjo player, her stunning version of Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark” will have you hearing the song for the first time.
press release: Ruth Moody, an Australian-born, two-time Juno Award winning singer-songwriter from Winnipeg, Canada, returns to the Stoughton Opera House on Thursday, March 12, at 7:30 pm.
Founding and current member of the internationally renowned, Billboard-charting trio The Wailin’ Jennys, Moody has performed in sold-out venues around the world, made numerous critically-acclaimed albums, and has appeared more than a dozen times on the popular American radio show A Prairie Home Companion.
Although best known for her work with The Wailin’ Jennys, Moody is an artist of exceptional depth and grace in her own right. Critics have lauded her ethereal vocals, impressive multi-instrumentalism, and insightful songwriting. Written with a maturity and wisdom that belies her age, her songs are timeless, universal, and exquisitely crafted, all sung with an intimacy and honesty that is unmistakably hers.
