Songwriter Showcase encourages the creation and sharing of original music by regional singer songwriters.

Demonstrating guitar virtuosity with powerful fingerpicking, bottleneck slide and a warm alto voice, Ruth plays a mix of Americana, jazz, blues, folk, country with a portion of Piedmont picking and bluegrass clawhammer thrown in. Her songwriting is universal, using a melting pot of styles with lyrics that are timeless, relatable, emotionally resonant, sometimes witty, sometimes serious but always human and genuine.

This concert is free and open to the public, donations welcomed.
Special thanks to sponsors Mark and Mary Ellen.
