“Journey Down an American Music Highway’ is a highly entertaining live concert, using video clips as background to take us on a marvelous musical tour. Ruth Wyand, creator of the show, applies her soft bluesy voice and superb acoustical guitar skills to interpret songs from Stephen Foster, America’s first professional music composer of the early 19th century, to W.C. Handy, father of the blues. She continues through the mothers and fathers of many American genres, including folk, jazz, blues, country, folk revival, and rock and roll. But it is Wyand’s own interpretation of these songs that is not to be missed by travelers on this journey down America’s unique musical highway”. Richard Folsom

“Her vocal range is nearly limitless, and her delivery is heartfelt without sounding desperate. What really sets Wyand apart from her contemporaries is her deft manipulation of the guitar”.
