BETA Records - Your music matters!

Hi, My name is Russ Nottingham. My wife Jeri and I have 2 sons, Russell Jr. (Rusty) and Michael. I started playing music and singing at the age of 8. I started out on the drums, went to guitar and then the bass, which was my main instrument for years.

Some of my musical accomplishments are: the band that my brother and I had was some what successful. We had released an album. Won the local True Value Country Music Showdown. We were recognized by the Ohio Songwriters Association. We showcased in Nashville and was an opening act for many different country music artists such as Conway Twitty, Charlie Daniels, Vince Gill, Diamond Rio, and Johnny Cash just to name a few. Most recently, I recorded my second CD which includes 12 original gospel songs. If asked my musical style, I would say it's a little bit of Southern Rock/ Country/Bluegrass and Contemporary gospel all rolled into one.
