Band Members:
Russell Reed's music covers many styles of music. He does Rock & Roll, Country, Rhythm & Blues, Southern Gospel, Black Style Gospel, and a whole lot more. With these styles combined, he simply calls it RRQ Music (after his former band). His career started in 1996, and still lasts to this day. As a member of The Reed Family Singers, he performs as a Southern Gospel Quartet lead/bass singer. As a soloist, his voice has a range that covers from bass all the way to tenor. Though currently performing Southern Gospel Music, he still performs the great Rock & Roll songs he has written, and continues to write & record new music. He has had much success with his songs online, and has gotten a reputation for Rocking Da Web.
