The BILLBOARD charting duo’s music has appeared on television, in film soundtracks, with symphonies, and in choral and orchestral music arrangements.

Their song, “We’re Gonna Be Legendary,” is the theme song for the San Diego Public School System. The duo’s most recent album, “I Had a Dream: Songs of an Immigrant,”began as a labor of love when Ruth set the poems of her late grandma, Betty Karon Hertz, to music so that the story of her impoverished childhood in Russia, her daring escape during the Bolshevik Revolution, and her life as an immigrant in the United States could be forever memorialized.
