Band Members: As I work as a freelance musician I have to be versatile, adaptable and creative. I have many bands and play many sessions with so many different players.(I am available for sessions, gigs and tours) . It would be impossible to list them all here. I have to be able to read, lug and play in many different styles and genres such as, Rock, Country, Jazz, Blues, Classical, Latin, Swing, Folk, Bluegrass, Pop, Dixieland, Commercial etc, that I may be called for. It's called making a living as a professional musician in Australia. See my website (russellbayne.com) so you can get an idea where I'm coming from. I have written many original compositions in many styles.
Have a listen to the listed tracks which are all original compositions.

Every musical situation I have been privileged to be part of and every musician I have played with.
I love most styles of music from country to classical, rock to reggae, new age to space age and everything in between and outside.
I'm a lover of anything musical that has a beautiful melody and harmony with feel and positive lyrics.
Sounds Like: All and none of the above.
