Russ brings talents to Sylva
Alma Russ will perform at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 16, at the Jackson County Public Library in Sylva.
The event will feature Russ on fiddle, guitar, banjo, and vocals. Russ is a singer and musician whose style is a melting pot of Americana, folk, old-time, and hints of blues and jazz. Her main instrument is fiddle, but she can also play around with the claw-hammer banjo.
At 14 years old, she has been singing for most of that time. Only in the last few years has she begun to incorporate instrumentation along with her singing. She has played with Owner of the Sun, Heritage Alive, Dusk Weaver and the Lifeway Community Church worship band.
The event is co-sponsored by the Friends of the Jackson County Public Library.
