About
Jus'Russ is a singer-songwriter for hire in Port Macquarie, NSW.
Solo guitar and vocals, full time, and a repertoire that stretches from the 1930s to last year. Jus'Russ has played across Australia and overseas, including several resident musician posts at Australian resorts, and is an award winning songwriter. The material moves through jazz swing, country, lounge, rock, folk and a few originals, so Fats Waller, James Taylor and Ed Sheeran can turn up in the same night, all delivered over backing tracks built at home. The setlist isn't fixed. It gets chosen on the night from a read of the room. Based at Port Macquarie. Insured, with all electrical gear tested and tagged, and an hour needed to set up.
The show
Guitar and voice, played full time rather than as a weekend sideline, and the material stretches back to the 1930s and forward to whatever came out last year. Jazz swing sits next to country, lounge next to rock and folk, with a handful of Jus'Russ originals in the mix. Fats Waller, James Taylor and Ed Sheeran can all turn up across one night without it feeling like a swerve. The backings underneath it all are built by him at home rather than bought in.
