Ruth Theodore

Starting her career as a DIY street busker and now signed to Ani DiFranco's Righteous Babe records in the USA, distinguished British artist and ‘original folk voice’, Ruth Theodore has been steadily releasing critically acclaimed records for over a decade. An experienced stage performer, Theodore playfully pushes the boundaries of gender and genre with a sense of joyful rebellion, a touch of 1920’s vaudeville theatre, and a healthy dose of punk rock attitude. Theodore delivers song after song with the relentless lyrical energy of a beat poet, holding your attention for every second of the show.
Her compositions are that of a skilled writer in command of, and having fun with, the idea of contemporary songwriting. Interwoven with captivating stories from her remarkable life, Theodore takes the audience on an emotional, profound, often politically and always playful journey.
