Russ Barenberg
Russ Barenberg is one of America's best acoustic guitarists and composers. He has been featured on dozens of top country and bluegrass albums -- with Maura O'Connell, Randy Travis, Jerry Douglas, Edgar Meyer and Mark O'Connor, to name a few -- and his distinctive playing with Fiddle Fever appeared on the soundtrack for the PBS series, The Civil War.
Russ' original solo recordings for Rounder Records blend bluegrass with Irish, Caribbean, Latin and jazz influences. He is currently an active session player in Nashville, and has written several guitar instruction books, music columns, liner notes and magazine articles.
