Live music from the Jay Ungar & Molly Mason Family Band, featuring Mike and Ruthy!
Jay Ungar and Molly Mason found folkie fame by writing and performing the celebrated soundtrack to Ken Burns' The Civil War. Their daughter Ruth Merenda (nee Ungar) and her husband Michael Merenda were 2/3 of The Mammals (alongside Pete Seeger's grandson, Tao Rodriguez-Seeger), the state-of-the-art folk-rock band of the '90s/'00s. Both these generations of couples have joined together as the Jay Ungar & Molly Mason Family Band. They bring their feel-good folk music to KBOO today in advance of their performance tonight at Hillsboro's Walters Cultural Arts Center.
