Ruth in Pieces
Somewhere between the Gulf Coast and the backwoods.
Songs, stories & questions from a very human life.
Who is Ruth?
Ruth is the part of me that finally learned to speak out loud.
She carries pieces of a very human life—love and loss, faith and questions, family, friendship, anger, laughter, and more than a few stories that probably should have stayed right where they were.
For years, I put some of those pieces into words. Somewhere along the way, those words started becoming songs.
Ruth in Pieces became a way to share them.
Ruth is my creative identity. Her images, voice, and music are brought to life with the help of AI, but the stories, the memories, and the life behind them are my own.
And I’m still writing.

Let The Mask Fall
Some masks are put on so early, we forget we’re wearing them.
This one is about the girl I learned to hide, the woman I learned to be, and the pieces of myself I’m still trying to find.
The Unraveling
Some things keep us warm for a very long time.
Then one little thread comes loose.
OUT NOW
JESUS LOVES ME ANYHOW
Some songs come from knowing what you believe.
This one came from watching a whole lot of what I believed fall apart.
And finding out what was still there when the dust settled.
OUT NOW
But the coffee is good.
The breeze is nice.
I’ve decided not to ask too much more of this day.
