The Mammals

The Mammals take the folk traditions of a string band and add layers of modern day instrumentation. The quintet features two musicians who come from impressive musical families: Fiddle player Ruth Ungar inherited her chops from her father, Jay Ungar, and Tao Rodriguez-Seeger is the grandson of folk icon Pete Seeger. The whole band joins us in the studio to play some songs and talk about their work, their world and their ambitions.
