Russ Needs Your Help to Get Back on Stage

On December 21st, 2024, Russ was taken to the emergency room after experiencing a fall. He had an extremely low pulse and blood pressure; his heart was not pumping enough blood. A pacemaker was installed, and while he is still hospitalized as of 12/30/24, he is slowly recovering and showing daily improvement.

But he's still got a long way to go to get back to the stage. It could take several months for a full recovery.

If you weren't already aware, being a folk singer doesn't come with health insurance or extended sick leave, so Russ isn't able to perform, and therefore earn any money. And social security checks only go so far. We're humbly asking for any assistance you can provide to help Russ pay his living expenses while he is recovering from his surgery.

We are so thankful for all of the love and support we've received for Russ over this holiday season, and are beyond grateful for any donation you can make.
