Harold Russell started his illustrious career in the 1960's with the Russell Brothers band. After performing on the local and regional circuit, The Russell Brothers were put in the spot light when asked to play the world famous Renfro Valley Barn Dance in 1970. Harold and the band performed regularly until 1978 and then signed with the Atlas Artists Talent Agency after appearing at the Grand Olde Opry in 1979. This decision enabled the Russell Brothers to tour extensively and work with the likes of Ernest Tubb, George Jones, and many more sold out venues all across the country. After the disbanding of the Russell Brothers band, Harold then joined forces with the Kentucky Gentlemen Band in the mid 1980's and stayed until deciding to take a short break from the performing business that lasted seven years. In 1994, Harold was asked to fill-in a couple dates with Blue Night and ended up working with them until 2002. Now Harold plays with The All American BLuegrass Band, but most of his time is spent collecting antiques, and old coins to add to his vast collection, and enjoying time with the family.
