Mike Ruth, a long-time staple of the Nashville indie rock scene, made a career playing in other people’s bands before he stepped into the spotlight with his own material in 2019 under the moniker Rich Ruth.
Over the course of four albums, his sound and identity as a composer has continued to evolve and on his latest release, Water Still Flows (out 6/21 on Third Man Records), Ruth has built upon the success of his “experiments” heard on 2020’s critically acclaimed I Survived, It’s Over to deliver a brash, beautiful, and spiritual explosion of sound unlike anything you’ve heard this year.
On this edition of Discologist, Eduardo and Kevin had the pleasure of sitting down with Ruth to talk about the new album, finding the spirit in the art you make, performing as a sideman vs doing his own thing, and much more.

Over the past few years, Milwaukee’s Ladybird have been refining their sound on stages all over town and with the release of their debut album Amy Come On Home, it’s clear that all hard work has paid off. With roots firmly and unashamedly planted in the sounds of Uncle Tupelo and Drive-By Truckers, and a wit that echoes the work of John Prine, the four-piece outfit is just the shot in the arm that alt-country has been waiting for.
On this edition of Discologist, Eduardo and Kevin are chatting with chief songwriter and lead singer Pete McDermott about his band, their brand-new album, and much, much more.
