Russell Stafford is an Australian born singer/songwriter residing in Portland, Oregon.
In 2009, Russell joined the alt pop/rock band, Crown Point. Joined by fellow singer/rocker, Jon Davidson, Crown Point plans to release their debut EP in the summer of 2010. On the back of two national tours and performances at the world renowned SXSW Music Festival and Cornerstone Festival, Crown Point is quickly becoming a staple of the Northwest indie rock mainstay.
Since releasing his debut album “Freshwater” in 2005, Russell has shared the stage with such prominent artists as Augustana, Anna Nalick, Josh Radin, Mat Kearney, Meese and more. His unique sound, powerful performances and genuine character have garnered him both local and national radio airplay, and a dedicated Northwest fan base.
In 2008, Russell released the much awaited follow-up to Freshwater. Fittingly titled "Between You & I", he continued his efforts to break out of typical singer/songwriter restraints. In 2009, Crucial Music Publishing began using songs from Between U & I for select national broadcasters and independent films
Russell also lends his music and talents to many local and national charities, including the Muscular Dystrophy Association, The Humane Society and the Doernbecher Children's Hospital.
