Nancy Russell

1. What instruments (includes voice) do you play?
   Guitar, piano, voice.
    

2. Do you write lyrics or music, or both?
   Both.
    

3. What styles of music do you write in?
   Some praise and worship (contemporary style).  I like a jazz flavor at times; some light rock, sometimes a folk style.
    

4. When and how did you get started in music, what are you doing now, and where have you played?
   At 13 years old I began to write and accompany myself on guitar.  Played a few coffee houses during college years.  Now share at church.
    

5. Do you perform regularly and what are your preferred venues?
   Not really; at church as the Spirit leads.  Love the writing more than "performance".  Would love to hand off to those who love to perform.
    

6. Do you have any recorded music? If so, out with it!
   1 song on a church compilation Christmas CD.
    

7. Do you have a website?  If so, what is it?
   No.
    

8. Is your music available for purchase online?  If so, where?

   No.
    

9. How far do you want to go with your music at this time? What are your goals?

   I have a heart to mentor younger generations in the craft of songwriting/praise and worship.

    

10. Are you interested in collaborating with other musicians and songwriters?

    As I said in #10.

     

11. Are you interested in collaborating with other musicians and songwriters?

    Certainly not my age or weight!
