Russell deCarle

Blueberry Music Festival - Russell deCarle

There are country singers, and then there is Russell deCarle

Now more than a decade into a successful solo career sporting three albums, deCarle may still be best known as the lead singer of Prairie Oyster. One of Canada’s most commercially and artistically successful bands, Prairie Oyster won JUNOs and Canadian Country Music Awards while garnering #1 singles and gold and platinum albums. 

deCarle, who last appeared at Blueberry in 2017, remains one of Canada’s most dramatic singers bringing to his music tasteful elements of jazz, blues, old-school country, and western swing. With a rich and warm, burnished and intimate voice, deCarle is instantly recognizable and is sure to be a popular highlight of Blueberry ’24.

 “I will be bringing my long time musical compadre, the great Steve Briggs on guitar, and fabulous bass player Jeremy Holmes.”
