ARIA Hall of Fame inductee Russell Morris will bring his signature sound to the Macksville Ex-Services Club on Saturday April 2.

Shooting to fame in the middle 60’s with Somebody’s Image, Russell had a string of hits including ‘Hush’ and the Bob Dylan classic ‘Baby Blue’.

In 1969 he and producer Molly Meldrum released ‘The Real Thing’, considered by some to be Australia’s only true psychedelic number one hit, and a song that is played regularly on commercial radio to this day.

Following that, Russell penned breakthrough hits such as ‘Sweet Sweet Love’, ‘Wings of an Eagle’, ‘Rachel’, ‘Part 3 into Paper Walls’ and ‘The Girl That I Love’.

Constantly in demand, Russell still tours nationally throughout the year as well as appearances internationally.

In 2012 Russell released his Sharkmouth album, a collection of tunes written about Australian historical characters.

Sharkmouth reached number one position on the iTunes Blues Charts and number one on the Australian Blues Radio Charts, winning the 2013 ARIA award for Best Blues n Roots album.

In 2019 Russell released another new album, Black and Blue Heart, produced by Nick DiDia and Bernard Fanning.

“I’d met Bernard (Fanning) years ago,” Russell Morris said.

“But It wasn’t ‘til I moved up to Queensland in 2017 that we sat down and started talking.”

Tickets for Russell’s Macksville appearance are on sale now at the club or via trybooking.com/862634.
