Fresh off her March 2019 release of Alone Together, Catherine Russell hits the road with her core band, including guitar virtuoso and musical director Matt Munisteri, pianist Mark Shane, and bassist Tal Ronen. Together, they’ve visited four continents appearing on major festivals, while also selling out concert halls from SFJAZZ’s Miner Auditorium in San Francisco, to Zankel Carnegie Hall in New York City, to Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow.

“One of the most dynamic, ruggedly powerful live acts in modern roots music.”
-Daniel Gewertz, Boston Herald

“A legend hiding in plain sight. With an astonishingly rich, mutli­faceted voice,
that can swing, lilt, belt, and sweetly croon with equal ease.”
-Joan K. Smith, Huffington Post
