There was a very good article about Tom Russell in the Fall '99 issue of Sing Out! Magazine (but maybe I'm not impartial because I wrote the article).Tom will be at the Champlain Valley Folk Festival on August 4-5 (the festival continues on the 6th).
Tom (with guitarist Andrew Hardin) is on the Friday evening concert with Popcorn Behavior, Guy Van Duser & Billy Novick, Herdman/Hills/Mangsen and Eric Bibb.
He does another concert on Saturday and then does a songwriters' workshop with Jesse Winchester, Steve Gillette and Anne Hills.
