November 8, 2019, 9pm

Ruthie and The Wranglers are joined by Johnny Spampinato formerly of NRBQ for an evening of country music and the legendary JV’s in Falls Church.

Azalea City Recordings’ Artists, Ruthie & the Wranglers, play rockin’ American Roots music (also known as FUN!) and are based in the Washington, DC area. After 25 Years of Wrangler Twang, including touring, radio airplay, and releasing six albums, the band remains a cornerstone of the DC roots music scene. From original Americana Country to rousing Surf instrumentals, their clever lyrics, high energy and spritely hillbilly harmonies set them apart from the rest. The band has released 6 CDs, most recently, “Ruthie and the Wranglers LIVE at Goose Creek”
