The Best of The Mailing List

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:00:00 -0700

As you may know, at my shows, instead of walking around begging for people's email addresses, I leave business cards and different colors markers so that people can leave a note or a drawing or a message. I have collated some of the best of them so far in an album - you need to check it out!

get inspired for the next time you see me live or even get inspired and email your drawings/messages to me! dannrussomusic@aol.com

peace,

Dann

schedule for the week

Mon, 06 Sep 2010 00:00:00 -0700

so it occurs to me that if people are interested in checking out the website, there isn't always an updated schedule - especially of new ONLINE shows. You know, the kind that you can do whatever it is you're doing around the house and still listen in and send requests.

I shall start posting them!

this week:

Wednesday Sept. 8th - 9pm est/6pm pacific - SL Show - Hotel Chelsea

Thursday Sept 9th - 8:30pm est/5:30 pm pacific - SL Show - Hummingbird Cafe

Friday Sept 10th - 10pm est/7pm pacific - SL Show - CoCo's

Saturday Sept 11th - block party show helping out "Box of Records" around 4pm in Roslindale, MA.

great review!

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 00:00:00 -0700

just saw a great and awesome review: "Dann is a wonderful guitarist who knows how to put on a rockin show. Listen to his blend of blues, rock, country and gospel...and his eclectic performance style ranges from quietly soulful to sweaty and loud." thank you Chestnut!

a blog link?

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0700

so it appears that the blog Americana Daily picked up my video! kinda awesome. http://www.americanadaily.com/2010/07/dann-russo-waiting-for-dawn.html check out their other links to some damn good musicians...but it leads me to the next question. WHAT SONG TO DO NEXT? any ideas?

I'm thinking either...Cafe en San Juan; Fortunes, Forecasts & Lucky Charms; Parking Lot Kings; or Her Majesty Cry...tell me your opinion!

a review?

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0700

my newest review: "Don't you dare expect to fall asleep during this set because amphetamines have NOTHING on Dann! Dann is 100% talent and 150% energy." I kinda like it.

new video!!

Wed, 14 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0700

I think of it as using "naptime" usefully.

I took my first attempt at using iMovie and setting it up in my basement (aka "Broken Strings Studio") and seeing what happened.

As an actual review, I think I could have placed the computer better and maybe played with the sound a little more...but as a raw first try, I'm impressed with myself!

The song is "Waiting For The Dawn"

the video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoqD-5JqcdI

I think it's cool.

peace.

my 2 cents

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0700

so with all this hype this individual basically took over basketball. I haven't seen this kind of narcissistic behavior since Narcissus himself. And I am not happy with ESPN catering to his ridiculous whim. And I think the Knicks will finish better than the Heat this upcoming year. :-)
