Russ has had a life long passion for singing. Having lived in Skokie for over 30 years, Russ sang with various choirs in grade school and high school, to appearing in the musical
Camelot at Niles North High School. He has participated and performed solos with church choirs including St. Peter's in Skokie and is currently singing at St. Gertrude's in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood. Russ has also been a staple of Monday Nights Live at Petterino's and Davenport's open mic evenings. Russ is also a long-time member of the
Chicago Cabaret Professionals.
Always dreaming of one day performing in his very own cabaret show. Russ came back home last fall to Skokie and fulfilled his life-long dream in the highly acclaimed, sold-out concert Let's Hear It For The Goy.. Hailed as "moving" and "engaging" by New York's Cabaret Scenes Magazine, Russ comes home again in its follow up Your Goy Friend's Back. In what promises to be an evening of more comedy, more stories of growing up in Skokie, and touching musical moments, this will make it another must-see experience.
