Shane Russell’s parents made the bold decision to buy him a drum set when he was just five years old. The now multi-instrumentalist grew up playing alongside his artist dad, Duke Russell, and developed a passion for performing, recording and teaching music. He’s been busy over the last year with his “mountain soul” band Childish Tycoon and solo performances. He grew up in Anchorage and has been organizing songwriter circles and open jams to provide local musicians a supportive place to share their work.
