About Me


Introducing.... John Russell
There are those who follow....and there are those who embark on a journey, individuals who follow their own creative impulse, regardless of fashion, unable to stay within the confines of a specific genre, John Russell occupies a unique space, sitting somewhere between conventional music categories, waiting to be discovered like a long lost friend....
John Russell’s music is steeped in tradition, a homage to music’s power to inspire.... John will make you believe, in love, the moment, the future, the universe....capturing emotion through words and melody, Russell’s music is hauntingly beautiful, yet able to be disquietingly personal....you are invited to ask about life, love, regret, lust and heart ache, and in return you will capture that memory of why music can inspire of why it can transcend what is critically fashionable.....
Heartfelt, acoustic, tinged with soul and without compromise, John Russell’s music is evocative and beautiful.....enjoy
