In this episode of Showing Off with Brian Newman & Angie Pontani, we are happy to have Russell Hall, the bass-playing pirate himself!Russell was born in Kingston, Jamaica, but his journey covers the globe. He tells our hosts how his grandfather introduced him to music and encouraged him to seek inspiration in nature and community. But he wasn't always working as a musician—he initially moved to New York to pursue acting! How did he end up switching artforms, and who helped him along the way?A collaborator of Brian’s both on the stage and in the studio, Russell and Brian consider themselves pirates, exploring their sounds like they're riding on waves. Angie tests Russell’s pirate knowledge during Game Time, and he doesn't disappoint.
