Russell Brewer's freshly-penned
and recorded country-Christmas tune called “Dear Santa” ...
it'll catch you with its upbeat tempo but it will also touch you
with a poignant message.
You know the old
saying, "You can take the boy out of the country, but you
can't take the country out of the boy"? Well, you
might just say that suits Russell Brewer right down to the bone.
He was born and raised in rural Ontario but has spent the last
ten years living on the west coast of British Columbia,
traveling the highways and byways, and performing for country
music fans all over the province.
Russell is a
country music fan through and through but it's really the
'classic' country style of music that has influenced and
inspired him the most... and of course the 'classic' country
performers such as Johnny Cash, George Jones, Kris
Kristofferson, and even Elvis too. Speaking of
inspiration, he has been very fortunate to meet some legendary
country music performers (Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty, Loretta
Lynn, Kris Kristoffreson, Dwight Yokam) whose words of
encouragement will never fade from his memory or heart.
Though Russell
spends most weekends traveling and performing a mix of classic
country tunes along with his own original songs, he put some
time aside to record his debut CD in 2004. Russell's goal for
the coming year is to put more emphasis on his own music and to
get better acquainted with the dozens of country music radio
stations in B.C. and Western Canada!
Keep your eyes and
ears open for Russell Brewer in the coming weeks and months...
'cause you just can't keep this country boy on the farm!
