A vocalist, songwriter, and musician out of Western North Carolina, Alma (say it like Alamo) Russ plays patchwork music: country, folk, and Appalachian roots sewn together to make something unique. Music has taken her lots of places, from the hometown bars, to church, to the highway. She spent a while performing as an entertainer on the passenger train in Bryson City, NC, and once she wound up getting three yeses from ABC's American Idol Judges on Season 1 and being sent to Hollywood, CA. Music continues to give her stories to tell.
As a kid she'd spend summers in the Great Grandma's mountain house in Western NC. Her English teacher Mama took her to historical book readings and heritage events, and she fell in love with mountain culture and heritage - especially the music. She was the kid frolicking around the yard singing Scotch-Irish murder ballads, passed down through generations; songs about old-true loves and murders.
She started taking fiddle lessons around age 12, practicing old-time tunes outside because of the dying-cat noises, and then she went on to learn claw hammer banjo and guitar. She learned about songwriters like John Prine and Townes Van Zandt, and she fell in love with the art of songwriting. She's played in lots of bands, but she's mostly a solo act these days and spends a lot of time on the road playing in bars, listening rooms, restaurants, cafes, and the occasional street corner.
