WHAT IT IS: The mother-and-son duo provides soulful, folk-leaning music. The pair consists of singer/guitarist and songwriter Madisen Ward and his mother, Ruth, also on vocals and guitar. They’ve been playing together in their hometown of Kansas City, building a small and under-the-radar following over the past few years. Recently, a trip to the Americana Music Festival in Nashville placed the band in a national spotlight, garnering critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, NPR, Paste, CMT Edge and more for their mesmerizing songwriting, vocals and live dynamic.
