Ruth Moody (Wailing Jennies) Tour 2025

Can’t wait to get back to Europe in April! I love The Netherlands and am so excited to be playing in some really cool historic and intimate venues. These are my only dates in Continental Europe this year, and I would so love to see any of my European friends, so please hop on the train and come visit! The tulips and the music will be in full bloom! – Ruth Moody

Ruth’s critically acclaimed new album, ‘Wanderer,’ is the chronicle of her life’s journey over the last ten years. ‘Wanderer’ explores the emotional journey of motherhood, the joy and pain of life, the mysterious and complicated dance of love, and ultimately, the longing we all feel for home, wherever that may be. 

Recorded at Sound Emporium in Nashville, the self-penned album was co-produced by Moody and Dan Knobler (Allison Russell, Lake Street Dive) and mixed by Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, First Aid Kit, The Decemberists). Moody brought together her favourite musicians and challenged herself to be as present and honest in her performance as possible. The result is a transcendent collection of ten deeply powerful and personal songs that reflect Moody’s inner world and wanderings.

From the first note, the listener is immersed in a lush and intimate world, welcomed by sounds at once classic, mysterious, and enchanting: open-tuned guitars inspired by Moody’s heroes, Joni Mitchell and Laura Marling; soaring pedal steel; otherworldly vocals; intricate harmonies; and the rich echo-chamber reverb of the legendary Nashville studio.

From the restless, nostalgic energy of ‘Seventeen’, a true-life story of unrequited love and an homage to Moody’s hometown of Winnipeg, to the jaw-droppingly beautiful duet with fellow Canadian roots music standout Joey Landreth on ‘The Spell of the Lilac Bloom’, the album takes the listener on a mesmerizing journey through time and space. The climactic title track, ‘Wanderer’, embodies the true spirit of love and belonging that we all seek in its repeated final chorus: “Love is Calling You Home”.
