About Gary Russ

The youngest of 11 children born in Central City, Kentucky near the area where Chet Atkins and Merle Travis perfected the famous guitar sound of country music, Gary Russ and his family could not help but learn to play music.  They sang and played multiple instruments in church and in a rental property of their father's they affectionately called "The Pickin' House."  They loved clean country music, but did not want to play in honky tonks or bars.  "The Pickin' House" was a place where they could play both Gospel and positive country music with friends.  It was a place where they could have fun, but not the kind of "fun" in honky tonks.

Gary heard Cynthia Reamy's song, "I Just Walked" and knew it was for him.  He says in the times of hardship in life, sometimes the only thing he has been able to do is "just walk."
