Russel Martin and the Relics
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
7:00 p.m. Schomburg Auditorium
Russel and the Relics has existed in several different incarnations over the past 18 years and have managed to be both immensely entertaining and innovative. The last few years Russel and the Relics have invited audience members to participate in the performance by shaking maracas, bananas, and tambourines, banging on djembes and bongos, and figuring out how to operate that giant nut thing with the beads. This kind of misbehavior began out at Put-In-Bay during the Summer of ’02. Over the last few years, the line-up has been somewhat interchangeable
to keep the ball rolling for regular gig demands.
