Going to have the honor of appearing on Prairie Home Companion this Saturday with Caleb Klauder. Steel should be featured in most of the songs… maybe I'll get to play the crazy steel player in a skit… who knows? Wish me luck!

Congrats! I listen every weekend and I can't think of a better choice to represent the NW country scene.

Way to go Russ,
Thats you're second time on there. You must know Garrison on a first name basis by now.
I'll be listening.

Russ, that must have been fun. I wish I could have been there. I have some friends who were there to see Skolkis.

I gave the show a listen Saturday. I liked the "Innocent Road". Russ did a fantastic job both on guitar and steel; as to be expected. Garrison even acknowledged "Russ Blake on that great steel guitar" after their second song.

You makin' us proud Rusty !

I just listened to a repeat of the show that has already been archived. Russ did a great job as Doug has already mentioned.

Yes, everyone in the Portland steel community that are fortunate enough to know Russ are very proud! He is indeed very talented, both as an accomplished musician and a fine Luthier.

Here are a few links for those that may be interested in listening and even watching a YouTube clip.
