Whazzup?

BUSKER IN THE ASHEVILLE AREA: Russil has ample acoustic guitar chops, vocal control and a great sense of humor. He likes channeling a variety of inspirations into his style roulette. You’ll find him interweaving tunes and merging improvised fragments seamlessly into one fluid, muse-driven mood. His vast repertoire of solo covers includes alternative pop, B-sides, forgotten classics, challenging epics, all self-arranged with soulful vocals and fingerstyle fun. Material spans 1965 – today. For example, Russil might whip out his hot version of Killer Queen, or new wave silliness by Soft Cell, then tackle ambitious rustic epics like Led Zeppelin’s Rain Song, or kick some modern bluesy classics like the Arctic Monkey’s Do I Wanna Know? Not to mention many beloved Beatles numbers. You’ll never know where he is going to take you next, but you’ll like it. If the tune is meaningful or 420 or if it happens to suit Russil’s warm and versatile voice, challenge accepted!
