From listening rooms to breweries, festivals, private parties, and glorious little roadside stages.
Choose your flavor of trouble
One Wildman. Two very different adventures.
Ukulele Russ is an internationally touring Alaskan musician, a one-man frontier band, and the ringleader of intimate Alaska road trips for people who want the real thing. No elevator music. No giant tour bus. No beige vacation energy.
Live music & private events
BOOK RUSS TO ROCK
Original songs, ridiculous parodies, crowd interaction, spontaneous songs, and enough energy to make a tiny ukulele feel dangerous.
Enter the music side →Six people. One van. Huge Alaska.
JOIN THE ADVENTURE
Roadhouses, fishing, wild food, roadside oddities, enormous scenery, and the freedom to stop when Alaska gets interesting.
Enter the adventure side →Not polished.
Not packaged.
Never boring.
The same thing connects the music and the road trips: Russ pays attention to the people in front of him. Every show reacts to the room. Every adventure reacts to Alaska. That is where the good stories come from.
Foraging, fishing, local flavor, and the stops most tour itineraries are too afraid to make.
One gig, roadhouse, river, questionable roadside attraction, and unforgettable character at a time.
Featured adventure
The Mid-Summer Scamper is almost full.
If seven days of huge scenery, Alaska characters, roadside surprises, music, and zero Karen energy sounds correct, do not wait until the van doors close.
Keep wandering
