Ruth Moody is an award-winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her otherworldly soprano voice and her inspired songwriting have gained the admiration of the hearts, minds, and ears of millions of listeners. As a solo artist and a founding and current member of The Wailin’ Jennys, she has garnered two JUNO Awards and performed to rapt audiences in sold-out venues around the globe.

Music runs through Ruth’s veins. Raised by a master musician mother and an English-teaching father, melody and verse were married in her mind long before she ever picked up a guitar.  

Her new album, Wanderer, is the chronicle of her life’s journey over the last ten years. Wanderer explores the emotional journey of motherhood, the joy and pain of life, the mysterious and complicated dance of love, and ultimately, the longing we all feel for home, wherever that may be. 

“Possibly possesses the prettiest voice in all of North Americana these days.”
– Huffington Post

“Moody’s voice is clear and deceptively wistful, capable of conveying powerful and dark emotions.”
– The Telegraph (UK)

“Earth’s landscape is her canvas…waves, wind and the moon are the individual colours residing on her most colourful palette.”
– American Songwriter
