A Quick Bio

I'm Russ Somers, an Austin, Texas-based singer-songwriter and independent recording artist.

Who do you admire" is an easier question than "who do you sound like." I admire John Prine's heart and humor, Tom Petty's southern pop craftsmanship, Todd Snider's sense of outrage over injustice, and Elvis Costello's thesaurus-on-a-bender wordplay. 

From quiet acoustic to bar-band rock, I focus on telling the small stories that otherwise go untold.
