With roots intertwined in classic country music, western swing and rowdy blues driven honkytonk, Brad Russell Band brings a hard-driving, foot-stomping sound to every stage they play.

​

Since 2019, the band - consisting of lead singer and guitarist Brad Russell, drummer Brendan Russell, bassist Luke Leslie, lead guitarist Nick Cruz and pedal steel/slide guitar virtuoso Jim "Haystack" Novak - has been the soundtrack to honkytonk crowds across the country. 

​

Their live shows are a raucous celebration of everything that makes honky-tonk music great. From uptempo barn-burners to heartbreaking ballads, Brad Russell Band plays with a raw energy that is sure to get you dancing and keep the party going 'til last call. Whether they're playing at a honky-tonk dive bar or a packed music festival, these musicians always bring their passion for pure honky-tonk music.

​

The band has been fortunate to share stages with legends such as Gary P. Nunn, Jack Ingram, Matt Hilyer, Max Stalling, Dale Watson and many others.
