Russell: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Russell

Russell is a rock/pop singer whose work is shaped by decades at the center of the duo Sparks, founded with his brother Ron Mael in the early 1970s. He is noted for a wide vocal range and a falsetto he uses as a structural tool, matched by an onstage physicality that reads as deliberately theatrical. In New York City he appears at Union Hall, including on the mixed-bill series *Late Bloomers*, alongside performers such as Mary, Shalaby, Jamie, Linn, Watson, Daniels, and Andrew. His performances favor clarity over spectacle, even when the material tilts toward character.
