A town known as the Cowboy Capital of the World, Tarleton State University, and this group of misfits thrown together that call themselves - Russell & The Roadies. Each musician comes from a different walk of life. This in essence makes for a melting pot of creativeness that fuels the band through each and every performance. From rock, blues, jazz, classic country and everything in between, the genres that are thrown together like a bowl of vegetable soup makes for an exciting and high energy sound. The band has shared the stage with many of Texas' great country artist including: Jack Ingram, Matt Martindale, Reckless Kelly, Two Tons of Steel, Tommy Alverson, and even John Michaell Montgomery, along with countless others. You can't go wrong with a high octane show from the band. With a blend of Ragweed, a touch of Cash, and a hint of Wills, Russell & The Roadies are taking Texas by storm.
What others have to say about The Roadies -
"Russell and the Roadies are a hard rocking new country group with a style uncommon to the Texas music scene. Just as it comes time to “Put You to Rest”, they will have you up and begging for more. The boys have found a way to blend a blues/classical style of guitar playing in with many of their songs while staying true to the country music soul. As a young band Russell and the Roadies have gained quite a bit of attention in their hometown of Stephenville, and are working hard for more gigs around Texas. The live shows are a must see and the eccentric fiddle playing of young Wesley Holtsford is a sure crowd pleaser. Whether your listening to a cover or one of their originals, Russell and the Roadies are sure to bring you good music that will have you jumping out of your seats and rushing to the dance floor."
