Dale Russ

Photo of Dale Russ

Dale Russ has been playing Irish fiddle for 40 years. He has performed and taught at festivals, ceilis and feiseanna throughout the U.S. and Canada, including fourteen years at the Lark in the Morning camp in Mendocino, California. In 1990 he was invited to perform as one of the 16 finest Irish fiddle players in the U.S. at the first Boston College Irish Music Festival, “My Love is in America”. He has many recordings to his credit and has been featured in Fiddler magazine. He has also performed as far west as Japan yearly since 1996.

Dale is largely self-taught, and because it was necessary for him to decipher the elements of the Irish style for himself, he has a unique understanding and effective way of communicating them to students. He recorded an instructional videotape, “Basic Irish Fiddle” in 1986 for the Lark in the Morning teaching series which is currently available on DVD.
