It was great meeting you too, and thanks for the kind words. I can't wait to see more pics of the rest of the night. What an amazing show that was!

It seems weird to me that every 50 years or so, we have to explain to Christians that just because they reference your Bible and use your rhetoric, nazis are, in a fact, bad.

Well, nows a good time to talk crap on Mississippi. Let's go!

Bluesky @bsky.app · Aug 22

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

As the president calls on the National Guard to protect DC, uses ICE to raid Mexican Restaurants, raises tariffs, and attacks Trans people's rights, I gotta say:
he may go down in history as the best president to solve the most problems that weren't problems at all.

Thanks for the video and share!!

When you put a sticker on your guitar saying "this machine kills fascists" that's a reference to the ideology that freedom and art will overcome.
When you put the same sticker on your car, that's vehicular homicide.

I see so many musicians wait until the day of to hype their shows. Why? The majority of social media news feeds aren't based on most recent.

Don't complain no one ever sees you if you wait that long to tell people.
When do you think is a good time to start advertising?

These are some of my favorite photos from 2024. Putting them together like this almost makes me think it was a pretty good year.

It was meh.

The last @starlite_invitational for the year. My last show (for a while). I'm going to let loose and enjoy sharing the stage with this amazing line-up.

A Round Robin show. Each artist does one song and then gets the hell off the stage. No talking, just the hits.

Starlite Invitational Saturday December 28th 7-9pm featuring Devin Russian, Scott Henry Harris, Well Dressed Bandits, Nadine Douds, Travis Dodge, David Dickinson, and Autumn Ayers.

Brick and mortar stores have been getting killed in the last decade by online ordering, yet every time I see new construction, it's for a bank. Guess we know who is making the money.

Considering I don't really hype or advertise my online releases much, I'm happy with this.

Spotify wrap showing Devin Russian music has had 234 listeners, 1.78k streams in 20 countries.
