Hello,

I hope I find you well in this current paradigm shift - a change in the matrix... Today I have released a new album called ‘Solo Live’, a collection of improvisations and songs (CD only) collected from my live performances of the last few years. I have been holding on to this, waiting for for the right moment to release it, and this time now seems appropriate.

I begin my solo concerts without a prescribed curriculum. I am interested in playing the music I don’t know, never the same set beliefs or zeitgeist. Heterodox views guide my meta-cognitive epistemologies in both music and life, both are one and the same. When I play the piano it’s not ‘the piano and me’, we are one within a room of collective souls. In the words of a Zen Master, “When I heard the sound of the bell ringing, there was no I, and no bell just the ringing.”

The music on this live album was only possible in that moment, in those spaces, and I am so pleased we recorded it and are able to share it with you.

There are a small (50), limited amount of signed and numbered CDs available which feature the twelve improvisations as well as interpretations of songs by Paul Simon, Randy Newman and Radiohead to name but a few. I hope you enjoy the music as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Paul.

Solo Live Part 1

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.
