Jillian trained on piano, flute, and even sitar-but is self-taught on all the other instruments she plays (guitar, ukulele, banjo, mandolin, string bass, and a host of other random instruments). She took a fifteen-year hiatus from writing and performing music to pursue her career in the labor movement when she re-discovered her musical muse in August of 2018. Her debut 5 song EP “Hangin On” featured two songs that were Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest winners, and she just released her newest album: Singing to the Moon, which getting rave reviews and radio play. For more information, visit her website at www.jillianmatundan.com Ruthie and the Wranglers Ruthie and the Wranglers are a five-piece based in the Washington, DC area. After 25 years of twang (including recording, touring and Americana/Roots radio airplay) the band remains a cornerstone of the DC roots music scene. From original Americana Country to a rousing Surf instrumental or whisky drenched ballad, their clever lyrics, high energy and heavenly harmonies, set them apart from the rest. Their Americana/Country roots and their unstoppable energy Ruthie describes as "Loretta Lynn meets the Ramones at Dick Dale party!" They’ve released 6 albums and most recently a compilation of some favorites from their legacy of recordings entitled All Wrangled Up. Their lyrics were called by Billboard “nothing short of brilliant” and The Washington Area Music Association (The WAMMIES) has declared them emeritus after more than 30 WAMMIE wins including, Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Country/Duo Group. www.RuthieandtheWranglers.com
