Told that she would never be able to play guitar, following an accident that left her unable to speak, singing and playing the guitar was an unexpected career choice, yet by her early teens Ruth Theodore was earning money as a singer and guitarist, busking in high street doorways and playing late night venues on de-tuned guitars.

      Coming from a creative but fractured background, the road has not always been a smooth one for Ruth, but living in squats, boats, abandoned warehouses, sleeping under workbenches and helping build two recording studios from scratch have all been a part of the creative journey, and with integrity firmly intact, these life experiences bring a warmth and depth of perspective to Ruth’s lyrics that are particular to her and the disarming character of her writing style.

      Remaining true to her unique style Ruth has gone on to perform and tour alongside legendary artists including folk legend Ani DiFranco, Dar Williams, Nick Harper, Jeff Lang, Hamell On Trial, Chastity Brown and Rory McLeod. Notable performances include The London Palladium, The Union Chapel, Jazz Cafe, Bush Hall, The Borderline, The Lexington and Glastonbury Festival.
