PRAx Presents: American Strings: Ruth Moody of The Wailin' Jennys
“Possibly possesses the prettiest voice in all of North Americana these days.” — Huffington Post
Award-winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ruth Moody started out harmonizing with her brother and sisters on a goat farm in rural Manitoba. As a solo artist and as a founding and current member of The Wailin’ Jennys, Moody has won two JUNO Awards and performed in sold-out venues around the globe. Following a conversation with American Strings host Kelly Bosworth, Moody will perform a solo selection of music.
