Friday Harbor last saw her singing and playing at San Juan Community Theatre with the Juno Award-winning trio, The Wailin’ Jennies, back in 2010.

Ruth Moody returns with The Ruth Moody Band to SJCT’s Whittier stage Nov. 14, 7:30 p.m.  Moody is also hosting a free, one-hour harmony singing and musician workshop in the Whittier at 5 p.m.

A founding member of the Jennies, Moody is also the former lead singer of the Canadian roots band Scruj MacDuhk, has performed in sold-out venues around the world, made numerous critically-acclaimed albums, received five Juno award nominations (Canada’s equivalent to the Grammys), and has appeared more than a dozen times on the American national radio show “A Prairie Home Companion.”

Australian born, Moody grew up on the Canadian prairies, in Winnipeg, Manitoba.  She was trained classically in music, beginning with piano lessons at age four.

Somewhere along the way she discovered a passion for folk, and while still interested in the classical side of voice training, Moody has built up a repertoire of folk songs, including her own timeless, universal and well-crafted songs.

Concert tickets are $28 for adults, $14 for student reserved, and $5 student RUSH at the door. The SJCT box office is open Tuesdays through Fridays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tickets can also be purchased online at www.sjctheatre.org.
