Ritt Momney is the solo project of Salt Lake City native Jack Rutter. Beginning as an indie rock band comprised of high school friends, the project became a personal outlet for Rutter after his bandmates left on Mormon missions and his girlfriend left for college. In his bedroom, he wrote, recorded, and produced his debut LP, entitled “Her and All of My Friends,” in which Rutter grapples with loss, loneliness, and a drift away from Mormon culture.
Rutter — whose music centered on breakups and losing his bandmates — wanted to write something joyful. The world needed it, he thought. He did, too.
“I needed to do something happier,” he recalled. “And I didn’t feel like I could write something happier. So I covered something happier.”
That cover, a rendition of Corinne Bailey Rae’s 2006 pop hit “Put Your Records On,” was a childhood favorite of Rutter’s. It was upbeat, joyful and reminiscent. He released his track on Spotify in April 2020, but it wasn’t until September that it caught steam — and when it did, it blew up.
