Melodic, soothing odes that crawl inside the recesses of your subconscious and root there for days at a time. Imagine a less braggadocious Dave Matthews or a less hyperactive Jason Mraz and you're halfway to grasping Russ.

Russ plays a mix of (mostly) acoustic rock-folk-funk that brings to mind such artists as Jack Johnson and Ben Harper. Russ "write(s) melodic, soothing odes that crawl inside the reccesses of your subconcious and root there for days at a time" (Jesse a.k.a. The Vicar www.indoorfireworks.blogspot.com) Russ himself has been described as "a fiery version of Van Morrison" (Green Cafe) with a "Morrissey and Stipe vibe" (Taxi.com). His song writing is insightful and poetic, weaving images and stories that "live in the universal flow of human experience" (Michael Pionkowski- Independent Music Critic). His musical influences range from the Folk of Donovan to the punk sound of The Clash.
