Ruth Hill is the Grand Prize Winner of the 2017 Great American Song Contest! Her latest CD, Reunion of Broken Parts, was at the top of Folk DJ charts for the first 3 months of 2018. Songwriter, singer, storyteller, Ruth Hill has roots that run deep in the hills of New England. One of 10 children, she started singing with her older brother and sister at community events when she was six years old. A musical storyteller, inspired by the gritty joy of growing up in a working-class family, and a wandering spirit that’s taken her to both poles of the globe, she writes about real people, her reflections on the sweetness and sorrow of the world around her. She accompanies herself expressively on guitar, but it’s when she opens her heart and sings from a place of depth and compassion that you are compelled to lean in closer.
