Ruth Moody: You’ve Got 5 Minutes – Write a Hit!

Singer-songwriter Ruth Moody will be in Columbus on September 27 with Six String Concerts. We discussed her new solo album “Wanderer,” her first in a decade, which reflects on motherhood, grief, and love. The album, recorded in Nashville, is deeply personal and resonates with her audience through its emotional vulnerability. She details the challenges of balancing motherhood with her career, including the difficulty of touring with a young child and the need to write in short, focused intervals. Moody also shares her journey of learning various instruments, including piano, guitar, banjo, accordion, and bodhrán, and her experience collaborating with Mark Knopfler.
