Chosen, my first solo album, is now out! Chosen is a concept album about battling depression. You can find more details about it here: https://ajrussell.ca/

@lavishdude, an acoustic alt. duo with my good pal @thinkalto, has two albums out, Leading Off, and Lavish Dude Wants to Battle, where we re-imagine our favourite Dude Tunes as chip tunes. Check it out here! https://lavishdude.com/

What's next? I'm currently working on releasing a single "Every Day", a longer form song from FAWM 2024. I also have plans to work on a bluegrass / roots album with my sister. We'll see how that all works out!

I'm open to collabs of all sorts! I play many different instruments, sing, write songs, solos, lyrics, instrumentals, fiddle around with synths, do audio engineering things, and all in all look to have a good time with cool people. Yeah, that means you, you're cool too.

Here's my lyrics - if you'd like them another way, please let me know. I'm a newbie so I don't know how this is supposed to work.

Verse The wind is cold, the night is dark, we gather round the fire We shove our hands into our coats, and raise our voices higher Sing a song of warmer days and feel our spirits soar A summer song on a winter’s night, and feel the cold no more

Chorus Raise your voice, beat the drum, strum your old guitar Sing a song with strangers, you’ll strangers be no more

Verse Day is long, the work is hard, who knows what lies before us Any load is lighter when we gather in a chorus Times are good, times are bad, we can’t control the weather Whatever trouble lies ahead, we’ll take it on together

Chorus Raise your voice, beat the drum, strum your old guitar Sing a song with strangers, you’ll strangers be no more

Hey, welcome to FAWM 🙂. This looks awesome, thanks for sending them over. I've got an idea for the melody already so I'll get that recorded and passed onto the next person in line soon!

Hi - I have lyrics for the A capella challenge song #1 - do I post them here? How do I get them to you?
