"The Texas Legend himself… Shake Russell -- Austin, Texas any place touched by Shake becomes hallowed ground. Shake leaves a little Texas behind him, no matter where he goes. You just have to hear this legend and his legendary songs!"
East Texas House Concerts
"Shake’s music walks right up to you, says howdy and gives you a big hug. His tunes make you happy or sad or thoughtful, but above all - they make you feel. Nobody writes a better love song."
Bruce Bryant - Anderson Fair
For more than three decades, Texas singer-songwriter Shake Russell has been entertaining audiences throughout the region with his unique, Americana style of folk-rock. A prolific songwriter, Shake has written or co-written hundreds of melodies.
Shake is a two-time recipient of the BMI "Million Air" award for Clint Black's recordings of "Put Yourself in My Shoes" and "One More Payment," both of which he co-wrote with Clint, and a four-time recipient of the BMI Writer's Award. The Texas Music Association named Shake the "2004 Texas Music Awards Entertainer of the Year" and nominated his new song, "Cowboy Coffee," for the "2007 Texas Music Awards Best New Song."
Shake is currently touring with fellow veterans of the Texas music scene, Doug Floyd on mandolin and Mike Roberts on acoustic bass. The trio's contemporary acoustic arrangements, coupled with melodic three-part harmonies, create a unique, modern sound for those classic Shake Russell songs.
