Russ started performing at the age of 11. He joined his first band while still in public school. That led to high school rock bands and popular Orangeville-based cover band, Cold Duck. In the late 70’s and early 80’s, Russ played with Dino and the Capris which earned a place on Peterborough’s walk of fame.

Over the past few years, Russ has played with a band that backed Sha Na Na on City TV, another that opened for Ronnie Hawkins in Meaford and, more recently, he has been recording and performing with country rock/blues band Honeywood Blue.
