Ruthie and the Wranglers – Original and Award-winning Americana Country and Roots Music!
Carroll Cafe is delighted to announce that we will be bringing Ruthie and the Wranglers back for our January 12, 2024 concert. Takoma Park’s own Ruthie and the Wranglers — from original Americana Country to a rousing Surf instrumental or whisky drenched ballad, their clever lyrics, high energy and heavenly harmonies, set them apart from the rest. Their Americana/Country roots and their unstoppable energy is like Loretta Lynn meets the Ramones at Dick Dale party!” The Washington Area Music Association (The WAMMIES) has declared them emeritus after more than 30 WAMMIE wins!

Jesse’s music is quite wonderful. He brings artistry & social concern together in a very powerful way! Author Parker Palmer

Jesse will make you laugh, sigh and lift you up with his heartfelt songs and skilled musicianship. Love the harmonica, keyboards & guitar! Diane Crowe, WMCB-FM
Jesse will be joined by Seth Kibel at this performance. Seth is one of the Mid-Atlantic’s premier woodwind specialists, working with some of the best bands in jazz, swing, and klezmer. Wowing audiences on saxophone, clarinet, and flute, Seth has won a remarkable 30 Washington Area Music Awards (WAMMIES), including “Best World Music Instrumentalist” and “Best Jazz Instrumentalist”. Seth has performed at the Kennedy Center, the Carter Barron Amphitheatre, the Lowell Folk Festival, as well as on several European tours. He appears with such notables as Sam Moore (Sam & Dave), Percy Sledge, The Coasters, and Daryl Davis.
Jesse’s heartfelt and soulful music draws us so easily into places of celebration, wonder, and a deeper sense of our connections to one another and to the greater life of Creation. Songwriter Ben Tousley
