Ricky "King" Russell
In these days of sampled and computer-generated music, it is refreshing to hear music the way it is meant to be played – honestly and with soul! Ricky "King" Russell is one of the Blues’ most seasoned performers and brightest talents.
Ricky is a guitarist/vocalist/songwriter fifty-year musician with a list of credits and accomplishments too long to list here. Described as "Volcanic" by the Boston Globe, Ricky always delivers from the heart. He has appeared with such notables as David "Honey Boy" Edwards, John Lee Hooker, Eddie Clearwater, Mighty Sam McClain, Ronnie Earl, Jerry Portnoy, Duke Robillard, Kim Wilson, Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton (Double Trouble), Susan Tedeschi, Toni Lynn Washington, Roomful of Blues, James Montgomery, Sugar Ray Norcia, Debbie Davis, Steve Miller and many others.
He was a featured artist at the original House of Blues in Cambridge, MA and Harvard University has bestowed upon him an honorary "Doctorate of the Blues".
