Counting down 10 years of “Christmas in San Francisco” shows, and remembering all the fabulous guests who’ve made each show special.
From 2008, the guest vocalists were again Alexandra Kaprielian, Terese Genecco, and Barry Lloyd. This was our first time at the Nikko Hotel, as part of the Rrazz Room.
Counting down 10 years of “Christmas in San Francisco” shows, and remembering all the fabulous guests who’ve made each show special.
From 2007, the guest vocalists were Alexandra Kaprielian, Terese Genecco, and Barry Lloyd. Again, no pics from the San Francisco show, but here are a few pics from the show we did at the Brownville Concert Series in Brownville, Nebraska that same year.
This was the year that Kelly Park & I ended up spinning off a snowy freeway into a partially frozen ditch, Alexandra ended up in the emergency room with some sort of stomach ailment, and Barry took a spill in the middle of a frozen street on our way to the concert venue. Glad we all survived!

Counting down 10 years of “Christmas in San Francisco,” part 1Counting down 10 years of “Christmas in San Francisco” shows, and remembering all the fabulous guests who’ve made each show special. From 2006, Alexandra Kaprielian, Amy Cole-Farrell, and Kristopher McDowell were the guest vocalists. The band that year was Kelly Park on piano, Reid Whatley on bass, Brian Carmody on drums, and Tony Malfatti on sax. Sadly, there are no pics from the San Francisco show, but these are from the show we did in Merced a few weeks earlier. A few weeks after this show, Alexandra & I did my CD release show for my first hoiday CD, What I Want For Christmas at the much-missed club, Jazz at Pearl’s.

The hardest nut to crack for any indie musician is getting their music played on the radio. Fortunately, it’s not impossible to get significant airplay on Internet radio, especially if you’re a “niche” artist and can appeal to specialty stations such as those that play Christmas music all year ’round. Russ’ new CD, In The Holiday Spirit has been fortunate to already get significant airplay on some of the biggest Internet Christmas stations: The Sounds of Christmas – listen on Live365
Christmas Radio Live – listen on TuneIn SOMAfm – listen on iTunes The CD has also been submitted to many jazz/standards stations, most of which won’t start playing holiday music until after Thanksgiving.

Just thought I’d give an update on the progress we’re making on getting “In The Holiday Spirit” ready for you… This past Saturday, we had the final recording session at Studio Trilogy in San Francisco with the wonderful young men of the Grammy-winning San Francisco Boys Chorus.  We did it!THANK YOU to all of Santa’s Elves who help me raise over $10,000 to produce “In The Holiday Spirit!”  The countdown begins!Only 5 days left of my Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for “In The Holiday Spirit,” and these final days are critical to success! Through the support of amazing fans and friends, I’ve raised over $6,500, about 1/3 of the total goal. I have a steep hill to climb to reach the goal before Monday, and I know I can do it – but not without your help. So many wonderful things have happened! |
