BIOGRAPHY

Hi! My name is Ruth Woodward,
But you can call me Ruthie :)
I grew up in a really small town in Northern Minnesota called Tenstrike. I come from a very musically orientated family. We had a family bluegrass band growing up which I hated because I thought it was embarrassing, but now I am so happy that my parents made me do that! haha was a great experience! Now I write my own music, sing, and play guitar, I arrange all my music, and I just love everything there is to know about music! I am an aspiring musician, and I believe that I will be on the top some day...so look out! haha
God Bless,
Ruthie ;)

It’s beer o’clock on both ends of the phone, the last interview in a long week of talking to complete strangers for the two of us.

Sessions: David Bazan

It was pretty slow. I mean, I played [the songs] on acoustic guitar for a long time, but I didn’t know how to transfer them to the other format. I didn’t want it to be a solo acoustic record. I wanted there to be bells and whistles and full band arrangements even if I didn’t want it necessarily to be electric guitar rock....
