The Kamama Music Series continues today, Nov. 1, in Mentone, Ala., with a performance by Muscle Shoals musician Maxwell Russell.
Russell learned to play guitar as a youngster and started his journey in the music business at age 26, according to an online bio. Known primarily as a blues artist, he also performs country ballads, country rock, jazz and old-time rock’n’ roll. In addition to his own works, he plays songs popularized by artists such as Howling Wolf, Ike Turner, Muddy Waters, Carl Perkins, Tony Joe White and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
The Kamama series was established to present original, singer/songwriter, traditional, Americana and roots music. Still to come this fall is Americana/classic country music veteran Dalton Roberts on Nov. 15.
