Response from Ralph Russell or The Russellers:
Thank you for the review. It was a bitter-sweet moment with friends and family celebrating a great man. Both Debra and I were honored to be part of it. - Ralph
When Ralph walked through the door of the Empire Room he was ready to go! I have no words to describe the impeccable service Ralph provided for us. His energy in playing the saxophone was through the roof. He is beautiful sounding and very polished in his art. We will definitely hire Ralph Russell in the future for our events. Thanks so much, Ralph!
Mr. Ralph performed at my father's Memorial at Lexington Senior Living Elmhurst recently. Everyone was so happy to have lovely and heart felt music to listen to! My father used to play the flute and Ralph played the flute as well. Thank you for making our day special! Deb
