My new single with The Nextdoors is out now at Bandcamp, and all money made will go to creating and staging a rock opera in Pasadena in June 2026. The song “Are We At Peace” is my prelude to the project, and establishes the sound I’m after - rock band + string quartet. It’s Bandcamp Friday so for all sales in the next 8 hours they give their cut to the artist instead, so do it today

https://thenextdoors.bandcamp.com/track/are-we-at-peace and link in bio too.

Please download and enjoy the song, which will also get you on the private Substack for those supporting the project through participation or purchase. $2 for the song but you can add more to support more :)

Tomorrow - for our neighbors in East Pasadena, we're getting together with our Assmblyman Mike Fong over Starbucks coffee and Dots treats to connect, share updates - and Russell will be sharing more about his musical time capsule project, for which he wants to connect with fellow unincorporated-area residents about their challenges, goals, dreams, and connection to Pasadena. at Crown City Dance tomorrow, Sat Feb 7, from 3-4pm, hope to see you there!

Much appreciation for Russell from us all for your time, talent, and brilliance! Can’t wait for everyone to hear the final cut!
