Russ Rentler @ the Half Moon Cafe
March 22, 2019 @ 7:15 pm - 10:00 pm
$10.
Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Russ has been playing music since he got his first ukulele in 5th grade with S+H Green stamps. He played music through grade school, high school, and college. On his first night at Moravian College, he met John Gorka at an open mic, and soon formed a band that played for the four years they were in school. Russ continued to perform when he went to medical school, and even when he became a physician. He contributed to Gorka’s CD, Gypsy Life, and recorded six of his own — the last two achieved top airplay on folk radio DJ lists, and NPR’s CarTalk aired his song “New Car Smell.”In 2016, Russ retired from medical practice and began to more frequently perform his mix of folk, Celtic and blues-inspired tunes, interspersed with off-beat humor and wry observations about life. https://www.russrentler.com
