Peter Mulvey to play at Harmony on the Green with Ruth Theodore (Andrew Sue Wing opens)
March 1, 2025 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm EST
$25
Peter Mulvey has been a songwriter, road dog, raconteur, and almost-poet for over 30 years. Twenty albums, one illustrated book, thousands of live performances, a TEDx talk, a decades-long association with the National Youth Science Camp, opening tours and gigs for luminaries such as Ani DiFranco, Greg Brown, Emmylou Harris and Chuck Prophet, appearances on NPR, an annual autumn tour by bicycle, emceeing festivals and hosting his own Lamplighter Sessions for years in Boston and in Wisconsin — he has built his life’s work on collaboration, on an instinct for the eclectic and the vital.
Joining Peter will be Ruth Theodore, Peter’s labelmate on Righteous Babe Records! Ruth is a seasoned British songwriter and producer whose work fascinates audiences with its gripping honesty and distinctive lyricism. A cancer diagnosis and treatment throughout a global pandemic would have floored most human beings but even writing from the chemo chair, Ruth kept on creating and has emerged fearless from the flames with over two albums worth of new material and a tireless creative drive to share her perspectives through her renowned original art.
Performing over an array of unconventional guitar tunings, and obscure yet cunningly catchy piano, Ruth’s songs of life, death, love, the human condition, science and let’s face it… by now pretty much everything, are that of a skilled writer in command of, and having fun with, the idea of contemporary songwriting. Delivered with effortless unapologetic passion, Theodore’s live performances will take you places and make you laugh and cry, often both at once. Expect captivating vocal dexterity, musical prowess, disarming wisdom, and poetic originality.
Having self-produced three of her own critically acclaimed records to date, and following her most recent collaboration with award-winning US producer and bassist Todd Sickafoose (Anais Mitchell/Ani Difranco), Ruth is back collaborating as co-producer with Todd and percussionist Mathias Kunzli (Regina Spektor, Lauryn Hill). Her 2024 release is “I am I am.”
Andrew Sue Wing is a Boston-based singer/songwriter and guitarist specializing in funk-rock. Equipped with a strong baritone voice and a unique style of rhythm and lead guitar, he’s able to belt out strong choruses and deliver soulful ballads. His repertoire includes both originals and covers of classics. With influences such as Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooke, John Scofield, and John Mayer, his originals combine blues, rock, funk, and soul.
