Shane Russell’s parents made the bold decision to buy him a drum set when he was just five years old. Now a multi-instrumentalist, he grew up playing alongside his artist father, Duke Russell, and developed a passion for playing, recording, and teaching music. He has been busy over the past year with his “mountain soul” band Childish Tycoon and solo performances. He grew up in Anchorage and has been organizing songwriter circles and opening jams to provide local musicians with a supportive place to share their work.
In this episode of State of Art, Russell shares how his parents helped him find his path in music, building Anchorage’s music scene, and working with other artists to bring freshness to the city. I’ll tell you.
