Russell Cook is a visual artist and musician. Trained as a painter, his work includes collage, sculpture, songwriting, and performance. He has shared the stage with a range of musical artists, including Del McCoury, the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and Dale Watson. He has recorded six albums with his wife Cameron as the Little Country Giants, including recording with Mike Compton and Stranger Malone (Guinness world record holder for longest recording career), and was part of the original ensemble cast for a Stephen King/John Mellencamp musical. His award-winning paintings and sculptures have been shown at galleries and festivals across the United States.
