  • Bio

    Texan singer/songwriter living near Seattle. I was born in Lubbock just a few weeks before the Lubbock Lghts appeared in the sky overhead. Many decades, two or three countries and several hundred songs later, I have settled down here on Whidbey Island in the Puget Sound. My partner Sarah Dial Primrose and I perform here on the island and around the country as the flatland folk duo, the Muse and Eye. Past collaborations include the Austin-based Clepper George duo (Jimmy George and me) and the Trebelmakers from San Antonio (with Mike Phelan and Mo Pair). .. ..........Myspace Layouts.. - ..Myspace Editor....

    Hey Myspace. Thanks to everyone who's dropping in and listening to my songs.

  2. Russell Clepper

    Hmmm. No gigs until mid-May. Better get into the recording studio.

  3. Russell Clepper

    Had a great tour in Texas last month. Good to be back on the rock here in the Puget Sound.

  4. Russell Clepper

Bio:

Come on in, welcome to my site on Myspace. Please feel free to take a few minutes and listen to a couple of songs. Let me know if you like what you hear. I've traveled all around the continent and am now putting down roots on Whidbey Island in the Puget Sound in the beautiful state of Washington. From Lubbock, Texas where I was born...to Quebec City where I raised four children...to San Antonio, Austin and the Texas Hill Country where I began publicly performing my songs in earnest...to the Pacific Northwest where the muse beckons me now, it's been a long, wild ride. Whether times have brought me hilarity or heartache, success or failure, prosperity or poverty, hurricanes or beautiful weather, I'm always ready to see what's around the next bend, or over the next hill. You can find out more information about me and my music at www.sonicbids.com/RussellClepper. .. MySpace Layouts
