A veteran New York blues player, Russell "Hitman" Alexander has performed at clubs and venues ranging from after-hours dives in the Alphabet City section of Manhattan (back when even the police wouldn't get out of their squad cars) and late night bars in Harlem, to the Royal Ball for the Prince of Malta and the Quadcentennial Ball for the Prince of Spain.
Hitman says “Over the last twenty five years, I’ve been fortunate to have played with or opposite great musicians, on more stages, and with more great acts than I could ever hope for." This includes Johnny Copeland, Lavette Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, The Coasters, The Ink Spots, and Whitney Houston.
