Distinguished british artist and ‘original folk voice’ Ruth Theodore has been steadily releasing critically acclaimed studio albums for over a decade.
Having started her career as a street busker, Ruth is now signed to Ani DiFranco’s Righteous Babe records and sharing labels, stages and studios with iconic international artists, as a performer, writer and recently co-producer, working alongside Todd Sickafoose and Mathias Kunzli.
Ruth’s music is inspired by lived experience which makes her a folk singer in essense, but there’s a strong sense of playful rebellion in her delivery that embodies hints of 1920s vauderville theatre, buckets of indie punk rock attitude and the relentless lyrical energy of a beat poet.
Living a nomadic existence between river boats, squats and tour vans, Theodore’s music reflects her naturally transient personality. Over her career she has carved a unique and instantly recognizable style that effortlessly pushes the boundaries of gender and genre.
Theodore is currently working on her 7th studio record and can be found touring the UK, USA and EU both solo and with her dynamic four piece band
