ABOUT THE EVENT

If there could ever be such a thing as an avant-garde supergroup, Rude Ruth is it. The band was originally formed in the mid-2010s as an improvisational vehicle for the now husband-and-wife pair of critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Margaret Glaspy and the outrageously talented guitarist Julian Lage. Rude Ruth has since expanded to include Lage's jazz trio of bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Dave King, a founding member of The Bad Plus. Together, they unite Glaspy's incisive and romantic folk-rock compositions with the strength and depth of Lage, Roeder and King's tremendous flair for flights of creative fancy. As a headliner artist, Julian Lage has developed into a leading voice on the contemporary music scene, selling out major venues across the country in 2024 on his Speak to Me tour. With Rude Ruth, listeners will get the chance to see an unexpected side of this phenomenal instrumentalist.
