The Mammals are torch bearers for American folk music of depth and joy. Over the past 20 years they have quietly composed a new canon of original songs that both reflect our culture back to us and present a vision of how the world might yet be. “These days we sing about what we’re for over what we’re against,” says singer/songwriter, Mike Merenda. And what they're for is "nothing short of sublime” (Americana UK), bringing “the defiant spirit needed to heal a damaged world” (No Depression).

“Hailed by many as Americana trailblazers and exuding togetherness on stage, [The Mammals] are also gently-mannered activists with well-crafted songs that successfully ask potent questions and raise issues to probe how we can improve the planet. They deliver their material persuasively and in an eloquent manner with enjoyment of their music underpinning the approach overall. The music is the motivator throughout.”
