Tom Russell is a country western singer who has been writing and performing for over 35 years. He will perform at the Canyon Community Center and do an outreach to the elementary school in Springdale, UT, on February 8, 2019.
Although most strongly identified with the Americana music tradition, his music also incorporates elements of folk, rock, and the cowboy music of the American West. Many of his songs have been recorded by other artists, including Johnny Cash, The Texas Tornados, k.d. lang, Guy Clark, Joe Ely, The Sir Douglas Quintet, Jason Boland, Nanci Griffith, Katy Moffatt, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Sailcat, Iris Dement, Dave Alvin, Suzy Bogguss and many others. In addition to his music, he has written several books including 120 Songs of Tom Russell, and a book of Tom Russell essays: Ceremonies of the Horsemen. Originally published in Ranch & Reata Magazine they are centered on the American West and include an essay on Johnny Cash for which Russell won a 2015 ASCAP AWARD for music journalism.
