Russ is an accomplished live performer as a singer and guitarist. He rocked guitar and vocals for popular live band MOBY DICK, touring the pub circuit as well as supporting acts like Skyhooks, Little River Band and AC/DC. Family life led to a successful cabaret stint with CASABLANCA and establishing ‘Zimsound Studios’ in Southeast Melbourne.
While creating advertising jingles for television and radio, Russ launched ‘55 ALIVE’ with another vocalist, becoming one of Australia’s top ‘50’s’ Rock ‘n Roll acts. They featured on major TV shows: Steve Vizard Tonight, Hey Hey It’s Saturday, and Ernie Sigley.
" I really love to perform favourite old songs from when I was younger. My favourite audience is with people from that era too - the residents of the lovely Aged Care Homes in this area."
