Cherry Rock and the Yarraville Club are proud to present an evening with the legendary Russell Morris on Saturday, April 30 at Yarraville Club.
Having shot to superstardom in the early 70s with hits like 'The Real Thing", 'Sweet, Sweet Love" and 'Wings of an Eagle", Russell Morris is still one of this country's hardest working artists, always packing out venues wherever he plays.
Decades after his first chart topping hits, Russell Morris is still as relevant as he ever was. In the past five years, he has enjoyed creating and releasing two albums of blues and roots music that pertains to some of the iconic characters, events and moments in our rich tapestry of Australian history.
The first album, Sharkmouth is all about the urban back blocks and the characters that inhabited them. Sharkmouth went on to be the highest selling Australian album of 2013, picking up an ARIA Award for Best Blues and Roots, reaching No. 1 in the charts and surpassing Platinum sales.
The following album was Van Diemen's Land which was nominated for Best Blues and Roots at the 2014 ARIA Awards, certified Gold sales and was the highest charting album of Russell's 50 year career to date, debuting at No. 4 on the overall ARIA Charts.
