Luther Russell (b. 1970) has been putting out records since 1991, initially as lead singer/songwriter of his old band, The Freewheelers, who made two albums for DGC and American, respectively. He then went solo, starting with "Lowdown World" (1997), "Down At Kit's" (1999), and "Spare Change" (2001), all recorded while living in Portland, Oregon. It was also in the great northwest that Luther produced many independent records by such acclaimed artists as Richmond Fontaine and Fernando. Since relocating back to his hometown of Los Angeles in 2002, he has completed a new solo record entitled "Repair", which was produced by Ethan Johns (Kings of Leon, Jayhawks, Ryan Adams). Luther and Ethan also co-produced the debut album of songstress Sarabeth Tucek. He has recently finished producing the debut album of The Relationship featuring Brian Bell of Weezer. Also in the works are a new record by local L.A. talent Savoir Faire and a new EP by East L.A.'s own Ollin.
