Russ Gordon's 2017 Los Alamos Summer Concert Series

Russ Gordon

Russ Gordon has announced the line up for his 28th annual Summer Concert Series in Los Alamos, free Friday night concerts including some of my personal favorites like Dale Watson, Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys and guitar super-stud Deke Dickerson.

Free show, 28 years ... that's the good news.

The bad news is that Russ says this will be his last. He and his wife plan to move to Seattle to be closer to his grandkids.

So enjoy the music this year.

And hey, Russ is still looking for sponsors to help pay for the shows. If you can help, or know someone who can, email him!
