Mary Jones Russell: News

We had a great time last go round at the Boulder Outlook Hotel. We will be there again on May 2nd. I think everyone should get a room and hang out at the pool before the show! Then have a great night without driving home! What do you think? Mary

Hi Everyone,
I am so excited to tell you I am starting rehersals with a band that has members that have played with the Rolling Stones and Ray Charles etc.... They have worked with Tommy Thomas and known as the Working Man Band. I have played with them a few times and we are now working on all Blues material. I'll keep you up to date on when you can look for us to play.

Thanks to everyone that packed into Oscar Blues last night. I've got to say that was the most fun I've had in a long time. Doing mostly originals, I think maybe one cover, was a blast. I'll let you all know when we do it again.

Hi Everyone,
Well, the Gold Hill Inn gig was a great time. The little parade that went around twice was a hoot!
Thanks to Bob Story, Bob Cannistraro and Becky Martinek for a fantastic job. I did some old country tunes I haven't done in years. Check out the photos page .

Even the rain and cold on May 5th, 2006 didn't seem to discourage a huge crowd from coming out to a benefit for Habitat and hearing the Mary Russell Band. We had a great time I'd like to thank all the people that came and made it so much fun. Check out the photos. There's talk about another one in August. I'll keep you posted.

Hi!

The band and I are in rehearsals learning new songs for the this summers performances. We like to dig into the classics for new stuff such as George Jones, The Race is On or Ode To Billy Joe by Bobbie Gentry.

We are currently working on a European trip. We have been contacted by individuals who claim they can book us across the land! We shall see.

If you are interested in an energetic rockin' band that shakes the rafters give us a call. We guarantee that you will be kicking people out at closing time!

Mary,
