Mark the date on your calendar: Saturday October 13. Showtime: 8 p.m. In addition to performing as the lead singer and bass player of Prairie Oyster – rewarded with six JunoAwards, more than a dozen Canadian Country Music Awards and enough gold and platinum records and #1 singles to fill a living room wall – Russell has been writing, singing and recording with the Bebop Cowboys as well as touring his third great solo album, Alone In This Crowd. He will be bringing to the Greenbank audience all his love and ap- preciation for the roots of honky tonk and pure country music, as well as the classic country vocalists. He always surrounds himself with brilliant players and on this night he brings with him the superb guitarist, Steve Briggs, as always, subtle, tasteful, and understated, but central to deCarle’s sound. “Russell deCarle has been around the block and done major time in Canada’s prairie roadhouses in a career that’s enjoyed significant success with country rockers Prairie Oyster. With guitarist Steve Briggs, he presents “... a master class in slow burning country, Tex Mex and western swing that’s big on character and grows with the unflashy expertise and spontaneous creativity of ... Briggs’ instrumental illuminations.” - Herald Scotland “To me, this is a torchy, bluesy record more than any- thing else. And I know in my heart that it’s something that people who hear it will understand immediately….” - Richard Flohil, Fall 2017. Also delighted that the very talented Graham Nicholas will open for Russell – “To my ear, Graham Nicholas is a keen student of the coy wit of John Prine and the understat- ed soul of Gillian Welch.” - Matt Foster of The Crooked Brothers. Please join Mogens, Cathy and all the Greenbank volunteers and friends as we set out on another year of musical adventure.
