About Ruth Wyand:

In addition to “legendary” and “virtuosos,” you can add “diversified” to the description of Ruth Wyand. In fact, being diversified is Ruth Wyand’s specialty. Demonstrating guitar virtuosity with powerful fingerpicking, bottleneck slide, and a warm alto voice Ruth plays a mix of Americana, jazz, blues, folk, and country with a portion of Piedmont picking and bluegrass clawhammer thrown in. Her songwriting is universal, using a melting pot of styles with lyrics that are timeless, relatable, emotionally resonant, sometimes witty, sometimes serious but always human and genuine.

A finalist in the solo/duo category of the 2017 International Blues Challenge and two-time semi-finalist (2018, 2020), Wyand holds a degree in music theory and composition from Stockton University (New Jersey). She owns and operates her own music school in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, where she teaches guitar, voice, songwriting, and music theory. Wyand has toured extensively throughout the United States, Britain, New Zealand, Kuwait, and France as a solo guitarist and singer, and has won numerous awards for guitar and songwriting including the Gamble Rogers Fingerstyle Guitar Competition, the South Florida Folk Festival Songwriting Competition, and the Hank Williams Songwriting Award.
