Equal parts country and blues, Melissa's music is firmly rooted in the rural West. Through her distinctive voice and adept songwriting, she leads us through the timber and mining towns that speckle her part of the world while weaving throughout stories of grit, determination, and precious joy. Ruth has four self-produced albums to her name as well as having produced a live album by the Western band, the Slow Ponies. Ruth and her husband and guitar player Johnny Leal perform as a duo and with their band, Melissa Ruth & The Likely Stories, throughout the West.

As always, shows are ALL AGES and no cover charge.
