“Perhaps it’s the authenticity that seems to spill from the singer/songwriter’s greenish-blue eyes or the way her truth comes through each and every lyric she sings, or maybe it’s the fact that Collins, 37, is one of the few that isn’t about to put a filter on the mental game the world seems to be going through as of late”

About

Ruthie Collins wears her heart on her sleeve, and pretty much always has a sparkle in her eyes. Raised on a farm in Fredonia, NY, Collins blends the vulnerable, the volatile, and the serene in her music. Her songs straddle the line between Americana, Bluegrass, and modern Country, upheld by buoyant and agile vocals reminiscent of her musical icons, Patty Griffin and Emmylou Harris. Collins’ music features some upright bass and traditional bluegrass instrumentation in a style that’s both old-fashioned and completely modern. In her own words, the timeless quality of her music is simply a manifestation of her love for timeless objects, stories, and traditions: “I am drawn to things that speak of permanence.”
