No stranger to Canadian and International audiences, Russell deCarle is recognized as lead singer and a founding member of award-winning, multi-platinum country-roots group Prairie Oyster. For well over a decade, he has concentrated on his solo career, and has released four recordings, the most recent being The End of The Road.
deCarle’s music isn’t easily categorized. Apparent are a lifetime of influences absorbing a wide range of musical genres from a time when Buck Owens, Frank Sinatra and The Beatles could be heard back to back on commercial radio.
deCarle’s warm, burnished, and intimate voice has always honoured an eclectic range of songs. True to form the songs of his most recent albums The End of The Road and Alone in This Crowd offer a fluent collection that mix southern soul and restrained balladry with obvious touches of jazz, old school country, and western swing.
Russell will be joined by the great Steve Briggs on guitar and fabulous Russ Boswell on bass.
