Russ Holder (Huntsville, AL) has played guitar and resonator guitar (“dobro”) since junior high school and taught those instruments since 2000. His parents introduced him and his brothers to music early on and once they learned to play in their teens, they formed a bluegrass group and began performing around the Southeast U.S. He has performed across the U.S. from North Carolina to Hawaii. Russ currently plays with Grasstronauts bluegrass band and the WoodPickers acoustic Americana band, teaches at the Huntsville Strings Shop, attends local and regional jams, and enjoys working with music students of all ages.

“Russ has the heart of a teacher. He is very patient and positive.”

“Russ has a unique way of explaining and demonstrating answers to all my crazy music questions!”

“I like his teaching style. He has shared many unique music skills with me, including how to approach a public music performance. I do not think I could have done it without his help!”

“He has encouraged and motivated me to keep practicing and learn more.”
“Russ has taken me to some local music Jams, sat next to me and taught me many important survival skills. And it was a lot of fun!”
“Russ has worked with me and encouraged me to overcome my fears of playing music with others. I am jamming now!”
