TOM RUSSELL TO PLAY RARE
TORONTO CONCERT WED. OCTOBER 16

American songwriter Tom Russell will play a rare Toronto concert at 
Hugh's Room on Wednesday October 16.  His songs have been covered by 
Johnny Cash, the late Doug Sahm, Suzy Bogguss, Joe Ely, Sylvia Tyson 
and k.d. lang, among dozens of others, and Nanci Griffith, Ian Tyson 
and Dave Alvin have all had hits with songs co-written with him.
	Russell's long resume-- he made the first of his 17 albums 
back in 1976 - includes a spell as a landed immigrant in Canada, 
during which he was on the staff of The Georgia Straight, then 
western Canada's only "alternative" newspaper.

Who:  Tom Russell with long-time guitarist Andrew Hardin.
What: Some of the best "Americana" songs performed by a superb songwriter.
When: Wednesday October 16, 8:30 p.m.
Where: Hugh's Room, 2261 Dundas St. W., Toronto
How much: $17.50 in advance, $20.00 at the door. Phone reservations: 
416 531--6604

Russell now lives in El Paso, Texas, close to the Mexican border, but 
his residencies in Vancouver, Brooklyn, and Austin - not to mention 
his travels in  Europe and Central America - have all informed his 
songs,  many of which tell powerful stories.
	A sterling performer, Russell will appear with his long-time 
compadre, guitar virtuoso Andrew Hardin.
