ABOUT THIS EVENT

The Russell Leon Band is back at the Dakota for two sets of original music. The band will sneak up on you with a gentle singer-songwriter ear massage that may trick you into thinking you're in for a relaxing bubble bath evening. As the night unfolds and the electric guitars come out, Noah Zacharin will be sure to pop your bubbles. Anything is possible: blues, reggae, rock, we may even throw in some world music and funk for all you dancers. If words in songs matter to you, get ready for a night of emotional depth and humor. The truth sets us free.
