Bio
Born (1952), Oakland CA. I started playing by ear at age 4. By 8th grade I started playing music with friends. I got my first rig in 10th and joined a top-40 band in 11th and played the UC Berkeley CA Frat house circuit.
At 21, I moved to Dallas TX. I joined “Shotgun” a local rock band where I got my first studio recording experience. In the mid 90’s I joined Mick Martin and the Blues Rockers. In 96 I performed a few months with Lena Mosley and the Badd Blues Band. I appear on 6 albums...

"Russ Skarsten's piano work is excellent, but his Hammond B-3 lines are pure knock-out"

You know these guys on these websites really have their act together. Sure, it's all about advertising, the more page hits there are the more revenue is made for the website, but it's really WAY cool that these guys, especially here at ReverbNation, decided to make a real game of it for the artist, and a profitable one at that.
It's fun seeing yo...
