David and Jamie Lyn opened a hair salon in Stevensville On. called "West Mane hair". They rented a big tent for the guests and a stage/ tent for the band. They supplied food and beverages for everyone and paid they band well in advance of the event. Stellar client!

August 3, 2020We 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.
