From Ashokan Farewell to Touch Grass: Carrying the Legacy | Ruth Ungar & Mike Merenda | Ep 6

In part two of this Real Unity conversation, host Sienna Mae Heath continues exploring what it means to embody a free state of mind through music with musicians Ruth Ungar—daughter of legendary fiddler Jay Ungar, composer of The Ashokan Farewell—and her husband Mike Merenda of The Mammals. Together, they discuss the family dynamics that shape their artistic community, the lasting influence of Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger, and the lyrical depth behind their songs, including “Rolling Stone Refuge.”
