In the Thick of It
The Holiday Season, that is. Liz and I will be playing for a couple of hours on Friday, December 7 starting at 6:00 PM for Rostov’s Coffee and Tea. Tammy Rostov and her shop participate in the the First Friday schedule by staying open later the first Friday of every month, although they are located up on 1618 West Main Street, with Home Town Grill and a couple of galleries. Come on by and pick up some of Tammy’s special Richmond blend tea or any of their coffees from across the world’s best growing regions. Everything is hand roasted on the premises and the place smells like heaven.
Russell Lawson has been playing and singing since the 60′s. He composes originals, both secular and sacred, and a number of his tunes evoke his roots in the Charleston, SC, lowlands. He has a small home studio where he records and produces tapes, CDs and videos of his compositions for family and friends. Russell is a member of ASCAP, the Songwriters Guild of America, the Virginia Organization of Composers and Lyricists and the Americana Music Association. He sings and plays around Richmond with Liz Nance, solo or with his best friend, David Berry. Russell is retired from a career in marketing and communications. He's got lots of time to play, if you want to ask him.
