Four piece Blues band.
We were a small group of 9 people for a social distancing BBQ. We had requested classic Rock so Russell played and sang this type of music. We sometimes chatted with him between songs. My group very much enjoyed the evening.
Response from Russell Edward Williams:
I highly recomend working for Marie. Really nice lady with a great bunch of friends.
