Back to Rabbit Holes

The Red Herring coffeehouse

Steve Crowe ran the Red Herring for just one semester (September-December, 1971). He and Russ performed as a duo at the Red Herring's Folk Fest in November, and had songs written by Russ on both of their 1971 albums.

​In October of 1971 Russ first met Jennie Fields, who at the time was a sophomore at the University of Illinois. Thirty-two years later they married, and now divide their time between Nashville, TN and Portland, ME.
