Help One Amazing Musician, Guitarist Russ Brent, In His Recovery From A Vehicle Accident.
During the day on February 16 Russ was heading to Calgary from Stavley. In whiteout conditions near High River an accident occurred with a snow plow and his vehicle was totaled. Details of the accident are pending due to investigation, no alcohol or other substances were involved.
Russ sustained massive injuries including: broken collar bone, broken knee, 9 broken ribs and damage to his spleen. Some of these injuries have required surgery which he has come through well. Russ is still in hospital, no calls or visits at this time please.
Russ’s medical team are waiting for him to stabilize prior to release (no timeline yet). Once he has been released his road to recovery will be long.
Russ Brent – Guitarist, has been rocking the stage in Alberta and BC for 30 years playing with bands such as Beer Fish, Hard Drive, New Moon, Tom Petty Tribute Band, Funk and Disorderly, United Soul Development, Moonshadow, Missing Peace and so many more. The venues he has played are numerous and the crowds that were amazed by his guitar stylings are infinite.
As Russ makes his living as a professional musician, he will not be able to gig for some time. Help Russ focus on recovery instead of worrying about money.
Russ’s music has touched so many people please donate what you can to this amazing musician so he can get back to doing what he loves, making music for you!
