Russ (bass)
Once upon a funky bassline, in the groovy land of the Bay Area, a legendary rocker was born. This musical maestro knew how to make hearts thump and hips sway, all with the power of his bass guitar.
​
From the tender age of 14, Russ embarked on a journey of sonic bliss, slapping those strings and plucking his way through countless original and cover bands. With his nimble fingers and rhythmic prowess, he effortlessly transported audiences to a rock 'n' roll paradise.
Warning: Don't feed the bass player!
But life had its way of throwing some surprises, and Russ took a short break to embark on the adventure of raising his little rockstar of a son. However, the music bug never truly left his veins. He hummed melodies while changing diapers and found rhythm in bedtime stories.
​
Once the mini-rockstar was ready to conquer the world, Russ emerged from his dad-rock cocoon, armed with even more energy and passion. Armed with his 5-string bass, he rejoined the music scene with a newfound determination, forming the Wandering Acoustics with his wife Sonia.
As the bassist for the Wandering Acoustics, Russ provides a solid groove, embellished with a melodic sensibility best described as a cross between James Jamerson and Paul McCartney, delivering pulsating beats that awaken the very essence of the genre.
