Russ is on a break from performing

Yes Russ is currently not performing live. The Corona Virus situation screwed everything up. We will all get through this mess ya'll. Hang in there Music will survive!

Peace Russmon

Handlebar Cafe was amazing

We had a great time at the www.handlebarcafe.com a great group of enthusiastic fans showed up and cheered us on. Hot tunes and cold brews were enjoyed by all! The Peace Junkies are now a Thing! New dates coming soon, the Covid 19 situation has obviously caused a stoppage of shows. But stay tuned for more shows after this is all sorted out! Peace

Leadbetters Tavern Baltimore

I played this show solo. Chris my percussionist couldn't make this show due to family business. I had a fun night playing solo, several of my regulars came in. Of course Martha was there supporting me as usual (thanks Marti!) great fan/friend Buddy was there as well as Bill Dreamdancer Sullivan and several others .Thanks so much for your support my dear friends....The wild thing about this gig nada little strange was the presence of a huge crowd of Brony's! These are folks who are fans of the cartoon "little Pony"
They came in droves to the pub and we had a grand time!

My Upcoming Shows!

Played a really fun,gig last night with my man Chris Peacock. He kept that groove going as only Chris can. He is so amazing at anticipating the feel of each song. It truly is an honor to jam with Chris! We played a private party for a nice couple who were celebrating 25 years together. Their family and friends had a surprise gathering for them and good times ensued for sure. So listen! When you have a conga line running thru the restaurant singing along and dancing to "under the boardwalk" ya know folks are enjoying them selves! All good times! I was a little worried about the gig since I had surgery on Wednesday afternoon! But I made it thru and music healed me once again....

 

I am very excited to announce I have been booked to play the "9" Songwriters showcase in Baltimore at the Metro Gallery on North Avenue on May 15th! I want all my friends and Fans to come out and support me as I play this prestigious event!

Chris Peacock!  

Percussionist Extraordinaire ...

My friend Chris Peacock joined me on my last gig at Leadbetters and man 'O man this guy is great! It was a jam from the minute we started his conga playing is fantastic! It's amazing how a musician just clicks with another musician. It doesn't always happen but when it does it is MAGIC! Chris will be joining me at my shows much more in the future if he's available. Thanks Chris!

Thanks for Coming!

Leadbetters was a stone cold GAS Thursday night! Thank you so much to my friends who didn't listen to the weatherman (who said we were gonna get 4 inches of snow... and of course we got ZERO)  So much for forecasts! ...  

It was a night to remember and a great time was had by all.

Also Thanks to the Sam Adams brewing company who ran the special offering that night! Be sure and catch my next show at Leadbetters! I'll keep you posted on the date and time!
