Biography
Vickie Russell’s eclectic sound filled with rich vocals, rhythmic piano and guitar is the music you didn’t know you were looking for. Her powerful and expressive performances have a way of charming audiences of all ages. Her secret weapons: her smooth, silky voice, a quirky sense of humor and an extraordinary flair for songwriting. This versatile artist keeps audiences enthralled whether she’s taking things slow on painfully honest ballads such as Walk Away and Welcome Home, wailing the blues on Manville, or just sharing a funny tale of her life between songs. Concertgoers have enjoyed her as a main act as well as when opening for names like the 10,000 Maniacs, Donovan, Rick Danko, Leon Russell, Richie Havens, Acoustic Eidolon, Cris Williamson, Chris Smithers, Full Frontal Folk, David Wilcox, Jeffrey Gaines, Peter Mayer, Groovelily, John Flynn and Jill Sobule. Playing throughout the USA, Europe, Japan and in her native New York hotspots, Vickie Russell is winning the hearts of audiences around the world.
