I'm Tony Russ, Musician, Songwriter and music producer from Poughkeepsie NY. I've been writing music since 1960.  On the road in the 60's -80's in the Bands The Facts Of Life , PREGO and the Tony Russ Band. In 1982 The Tony Russ Band made a vinyl album called Back To Basics that is still selling used on record sites.  In 2022, I went full time in music after retiring as a Finance Manager and created hundreds of songs that are streaming on all platforms. 

Starting with the album called 77 I went in a different direction in the music I create, because I felt it would resonate more with the public and hopefully my fans. I took singing, guitar and piano lessons in 2025 since I was self taught up until then. And it opened up a door of possible growth to my fan base. I continued with Singles "What if we Stayed, and Ocean Draming" plus albums AGELESS, NOT DONE YET, 65 YEARS IN MUSIC and OLD SOUL, NEW GROVE. These are my best works yet and more great songs are in the works as I gain more knowledge with lessons on playing various instruments and voice lessons. You can purchase songs in the catalog for $1.00 each and that helps me keep producing. Stream my songs worldwide on all platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Youtube, Pandora, Iheart radio and more. 

On 9/2/26 I made a decision to remove music that was produced before 2025 from the streaming platforms. In the beginning of my comeback, the equipment I used to make music was not top quality and listening to those songs, didn't fit who I am now.  Of course if anyone wants to purchase those songs, write me an email and I make them available.

I create music in many genres. With my 65 years experience and 20 years on the road, I got to play songs in many genres and I decided to continue that in my writing and producing.
