A musical storyteller, New Paltz based touring singer/songwriter Vickie Russell delivers passionate piano and guitar playing with powerful vocals. With a taste of country, blues and folk all blended together, she entertains by touching your heart and soul, and keeps you laughing with her unique subject matter, memorable melodies and clever lyrics. Concertgoers have enjoyed her as a main act as well as when opening for the likes of 10,000 Maniacs, Donovan, Leon Russell, Richie Havens, Christine Lavin, and Tuck & Patti, playing throughout the world.
