If you live in Missoula you’ve probably seen Russ Nasset play guitar. Maybe you saw him and his son Sam ripping up the stage with their band the Revelators. Maybe you walked into the Old Post on a Thursday night and witnessed Russ take command of the room with one of his solo shows. If you do live in Missoula and you haven’t seen Russ Nasset then you should be ashamed of yourself. You might want to consider moving to Billings. Hands down, Russ Nasset is the hardest working man in the local music scene. I personally believe Russ was born with a guitar pick in his hand.
Russ recently had some health problems and he had to spend sometime in one of those really expensive hotels called the hospital. So some of Missoula’s best bands are getting together and throwing one hell of a show to help the Godfather of Missoula Honky-Tonk out. So if you are one of those people that absolutely love Russ and you don’t want to move to Billings come out this Friday night and show him support. If you haven’t seen Russ, amazingly enough he will be playing shows again next month. What a badass!
The Roots Rock Round Up @ The Elks Lodge Friday March 30th $10 at the Door. Starts at 8 p.m. and it’s 18+. Bands include Bob Wire and the Magnificent Bastards, Tom Catmull and the Clerics, Broken Valley Road Show and The Swillbillys.

[End of article]I'm gonna be blazing home along Highway 2 from my work conference on the Hi-Line to try to get back in time for this thing. Russ and the Revelators are Montana treasures!
Comment By Jim Fleischmann, 3-30-07Where can we mail our contributions? Russ has been rocking Missoula for years and i spent many a fine night with his old Stratocaster blazing in my ear.
Comment By Bob Wire, 3-30-07You can contact Russ's son, Sam (his fellow guitar-slinger in the Revelators) about making a contribution, and it will be MUCH appreciated. Sam's email is: .
