We had a great time Saturday, June 7th at Arts in the Middle Fine Arts Festival in Urbanna
Liz and I really enjoyed playing at the Arts in the Middle Fine Arts Festival at Urbanna’s Hewick Plantation in Middlesex County on June 7. We saw old friends, made new ones and performed our set on the Acoustic Stage for over an hour. We were hot! Also, heard some good music and browsed the many artists and vendors around the grounds.
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.
