Ruthie Logsdon and her band, have racked up 30 WAMMIES including Country Vocalist and Songwriter of the Year from the Washington Area Music Association.  Ruthie grew up singing along at home with her Dad and his guitar and harmonica.  Although geographically the Logsdons were city folks, they held family hoedowns singing Hank Williams & Jimmy Dickens at any opportunity.  After attending Bluegrass festivals, a few private guitar lessons and watching Country TV stars like Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton, Ruthie had enough influences from her rootsy background combined with her Rock ‘n’ Roll and Punk-influenced college days to create the beginning of Ruthie and the Wranglers.  Add Ruthie’s favorite musicians and you get diverse talent and unstoppable energy.  She was proud to discover she is related to the late Jimmie Lloyd Logsdon - Decca recording artist and author of “I Got a Rocket in My Pocket”... Ruthie is definitely carrying on a family tradition!
