Three Dollar Deweys and the NH Music Collective present Russell Kaback live! Russell Kaback – writer/performer/educator – was born in St. Louis, raised in Montreal, and lives in Maine. His full-bodied performances feature his strong and nuanced voice, and his agile and surprising guitar playing – all in service of carrying his truthful and solidly-built lyrics. His renditions of tunes by such influences as Sam Cooke, Talking Heads, and Madonna make sense in the mix with his own acoustic soul originals. Since first playing out in 1988, he has taken the stage alongside Regina Spektor, Anguillian folk-reggae legend Bankie Banx, and Raul Midon.
Russell is currently performing in support of his new single, “What A Life This Is”, an uplifting and life-affirming soulful pop song written for his mother on the occasion of her 75th birthday. Produced at The Studio Portland by Ryan Ordway, and featuring Stu Mahan on Bass, JJ Armstrong on drums, and Russ’s cousins Sam and Eli Fribush, on keys and sax, the track is being featured in a promotional video collaboration between the Maine Children’s Museum & Theatre, and the Maine Office of Tourism.
Russ’s solo musical story performance, titled “25044”, about the life of his grandfather, a Jewish Polish teenager who spent four years in the camps of WWII, is being presented in Maine schools by Portland Ovations.
