Details: The Mammals, in concert! “The Mammals don’t suffer from multiple genre syndrome, they celebrate it as if gleefully aware that the sound barriers separating old-timey music, vintage pop and contemporary folk are as permeable as cotton,” according to the Washington Post. “It’s basically ‘think, dance, feel’” says Ungar of the repertoire on their forthcoming album. Songs like “Culture War” and “My Baby Drinks Water” directly recognize the rifts between people and planet. Then they whoop up a ruckus on fiddle, banjo, guitar, bass and drums as if to stomp the last shreds of worry into oblivion. Their songs and stage banter are 100% down to earth, they tour as a family, and they produce a community music festival near their home in Woodstock, NY twice a year called the Hoot.
