Russell DeCarle brings his eclectic sound to northwestern Ontario

A Canadian music legend comes to Dryden and Sioux Lookout!

Russell DeCarle is a celebrated Canadian singer-songwriter, best known as the lead vocalist and bassist of the multi-platinum country-roots band Prairie Oyster. The band have won multiple Juno Awards and several Canadian Music Awards. They have also been inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.

Russell now has a prolific and celebrate solo career, blending together a cocktail of country, southern soul, jazz, blues, and western swing.

He performs in Sioux Lookout as a part of the Sioux Hudson Entertainment Series on January 15th – Tickets and in Dryden as a part of the Dryden Entertainment Series on January 16th – Tickets

Russell was kind enough to spare a few minutes to chat with me over the phone from his country home in Southern Ontario before travelling to our region to perform. You can click on the audio tracks below to hear his thought and on the video links to get a taste of his music.
