Welcome To Motherlode

I'm Russ Lake (bass, guitar & vocals) and a lot of talented folks helped me flesh out this album of 8 originals and 2 covers: Guitars - Mighty Mike Schermer & Huntley Chamberlain; Vocalists - Naomi Wilder, Russ Leal, Stephen Snyder & Tammi Brown; Drums - Johnny Blimling & Marty Dodson; B3 organ - Bob Hertler; Violin - Annie Steinhardt; Conga - Jim Greiner The last cut is a lost track of my group from 1970 (RUSHIN RIVER) that features Bobby Kent, Steve Sunderbruch, Steve Leonard, Bob Hertzler. Check out the nice review from MusicReviews.com: Our Reverbnation Featured Artist' - WHEELHOUSE - Russ Lake & Friends are Wheelhouse. I like the name of the band because if you have an affinity for music that gives you everything then it hits you right in your 'Wheelhouse,' so to speak. A good mixture of rock, Americana, folk, some blues, well all of that is Americana actually so if that is your bag then jump in and join the musical party that this band can offer. They are in this for the love of music and to have some fun. The picture of them in a backyard at their CD release party tells the story. These are folks that have left the rock star dreams and all the glitz that goes with it in the backseat and they are ready to take you for a ride on their own train now. So listen up! Russ Lake & Friends: Mike Schermer, Naomi Wilder, Russ Leal, Tammi Brown, Stephen Snyder, Huntley Chamberlain, Johnny Blimling, Marty Dodson, Bob Hertzler, Annie Steinhardt & Jim Greiner Keith Hannaleck - Muzik Reviews.
