here is a demo track for a new original called "steady"

this song is meant to be about growing up.  more specifically, about how depression affected my most formative years and how i get waves of it still.  it's about losing a sense of awe or inspiration that accompanies childhood, basically the "childlike wonder" that seems to slowly die as people grow older.  i hope this song resonates with someone and i hope you can get something out of it. thanks for listening. 

"steady, we're slowly growing into knowing that nothing will stand & nothing feels grand.  my soul is slowly crawling inward, sighing that nothing will stand, nothing feels grand."

An introverted guy that has a way with words, Marshall-stacked guitar tones, and a sophisticated Nashville storytelling fare—that is American multi-instrumentalist David Russell.

Born July 3, 2000, in Nashville, Tennessee, David was raised in a musical family, collaborating with his sister, Emmy Russell, and grandmother, Loretta Lynn. His father introduced him to key influences like Tom Petty and the Ramones.

On Christmas Day 2016, David began uploading original songs to SoundCloud, influenced by bands like Modern Baseball & Weezer. These songs have been self-released as part of his annual “Summer Hiatus” compilations. He didn’t fit into Nashville, but he often attended and hosted DIY shows.

After relocating to New York City in 2020, David formed the alternative bands that gained traction in 2022 with a 52-week residency at the Bitter End. In 2023, producer Billy Mannino (Oso Oso, Macseal) worked with the him and his band on their track “Breaking Down & Feeling Low,” released two years later under Doolittle on their debut EP Secret Saturday. In 2024, David joined Nordista Freeze on his tour, which motivated David to distribute his music, previously exclusively on SoundCloud.

In 2025, David released 200 songs and formed alternative band Doolittle with Nordista Freeze, Michael Massiah, Gemma Guttenberg, & Jason Ruiz. The upcoming Summer Hiatus ‘25 proves songwriting is his trade, doubling down on what he knows best — anthemic choruses and a memoir style penmanship.

“Shady Groves manifested in 2015, the collaboration of songwriters Adam Fitzgerald, Dylan Caron and Jeff Yateman. Colt Caron (piano), Sage Denam (drums) and Jamie Dulin (bass) would eventually join, filling things out after Yateman left the band in late 2016. They found a slick, smooth electro-pop sound that was keen on rich tones, propulsive arrangements and a hushed kind of crooning vocal melody. I always felt like they found this serene musical field where they could fuse something melodramatic like The Smiths, contemplative like The Shins, post-chill-wave vibe-outs like Wild Nothing and an adventurous sense for reconstructing the possibilities of pop, like Tennis."
- Detroit Free Press

"Michigan based collective Shady Groves is brimming with talent and versatility. Their lofty, drifting sound sends listeners to tranquil mindsets as their ambient, indie, folk style meets somewhere in the middle with pop and rock genres. A group of multi-instrumentalists and songwriters, Shady Groves use their individual talents to inject variety into their collective songs, and their cohesion as a group is seamless even with so many cooks in the kitchen."
- Playground Detroit
