In the late 1990's a lifelong dream came true for Wilson, NC native Russ Varnell when he decided to buy a plane ticket to Bakersfield California to meet his idol and hero Buck Owens. Little did he know a lasting friendship would form or that Buck would invite Russ to perform at the annual Buck Owens Birthday Party in California. Since then Russ has been honored to perform with Buck and the Legendary Buckaroos on several different occasions in California.
Russ makes a couple of trips a year to Nashville Tennessee to meet with industry insiders in hopes of advancing his career and has performed at various Nashville Clubs such as Tootsies Orchid Lounge, Legends Corner, Roberts Western Wear, The Stage, The Nashville Palace, Lonnie's Western Room, and many more in Nashville Tennessee. Russ is also a signed songwriter with BMI Music in Nashville, Tennessee.
Russ' musical influences are: George Jones, Merle Haggard, Elvis, Hank Sr., Ernest Tubb, Del Reeves, Don Rich, Red Simpson and most of all the Legendary Buck Owens! "I'm 100% a traditional real country singer" says Russ. "I sometimes think that my generation doesn't even know what a country singer supposed to sound like."
