Singer-songwriter, painter, and essayist Tom Russell has released 35 highly-acclaimed albums and published six books, including a book on his art, a book of his songs, and a five-star rated book of essays, Ceremonies of the Horsemen. Russell was awarded the 2015 ASCAP Deems Taylor Award for excellence in music journalism, and his paintings reside in several major American museums and are represented through six world galleries.Russell’s latest recording of original compositions, October in the Railroad Earth, was released March15, 2019, on Frontera Records in North America and CD/LP on Proper Records everywhere else.

October in the Railroad Earth follows the acclaimed 2017 Frontera/Proper album “Folk Hotel” and Russell’s tribute to Ian & Sylvia on True North Records, “Play One More,” both receiving worldwide acclaim. Between major releases in 2018, Russell recorded the Bruce Springsteen track “Across The Border” for the three-disc Appleseed Records anniversary sampler, Roots and Branches, and issued a re-recording of early classics on Frontera, Old Songs Yet To Sing.

Russell’s previous album of new original material was the 2015 “folk opera” that Thom Jurek of allmusic.com hailed as Tom’s masterpiece, “The Rose of Roscrae.” Named “the top folk album of 2015” by Mojo magazine, Roscrae was also lauded as “maybe the most important Americana record of all time” by UK Folk. The album was included in top ten lists of dozens of publications, including the Los Angeles Times.

The award winning historic Sutter Creek Theatre is an intimate 215 seat former silent film theatre with superb sound. Beer and wine at the venue.
