The Mammals are a contemporary folk rock band based in the Hudson Valley area of New York, in the United States.
The Mammals sing and play in a style heavily influenced by traditional folk, soul, old-time, blues, Cajun, Celtic and rock and roll.
Initially a quartet with Alicia Jo Rabins on the fiddle[2] they quickly shifted to a trio with Ungar as the sole fiddler.

In April 2018, they released the full album Sunshiner[10] recorded at the band's home studio Humble Abode Music with co-producer Adam Armstrong.
