Shake Russell

For more than 50 years, Texas singer-songwriter Shake Russell, has been entertaining audiences throughout the region and all over the United States with his unique Americana style of folk rock.  Weaving sophisticated harmonies through his songs and drawing from various genres, Shake created a style of folk-rock that is uniquely his own.

A prolific songwriter, Shake has written or co-written hundreds of melodies. Shakes songs and albums have frequented the Billboard charts, with many including “You’ve Got a Lover” (Ricky Skaggs) “Deep in the West” (Waylon Jennings/Jessi Colter), “Put Yourself in My Shoes”, “One More Payment”, “Our Kind of Love”, “You Don’t Need Me Now”, (Clint Black), “You Wouldn’t Know Me” (Miranda Lambert), “The Dare of an Angel” (Jerry Jeff Walker), “The Girl Just Loves to Dance” (Gary P Nunn), “Temper Temper”, (BW Stevenson), Miranda Lambert’s recording of “You Wouldn’t Know Me” went “Platinum” on  her 2018 release of “The Weight of these Wings”.
Shake is a two-time recipient of BMI MILLIONAIRE AWARD and a four-time recipient of BMI Writers Award.
2013 “Texas Music Association” Entertainer of the Year in 2004, 2008 and “Lifetime Achievement Award by the Texas Music Association.
2016 Shake was inducted by “The Austin Songwriters Association “Music Legends Hall of Fame”

Shake has released 30 albums in his career and more to come.  Shake’s latest CD, “Chasing the Song” is a delightful array of original compositions that beautifully showcase the extraordinary talents of this singer-songwriter.  To fully appreciate and comprehend the magnitude of Shake’s contributions to music, one need only listen to his life’s work.  From his 1978 album “Songs on the Radio” to the 2018 “Chasing the Song”, Shake’s music is a testament to the reasons why he is so widely celebrated as a Texas Music Legend!

Jefferson’s unique vocal style and his remarkable song crafting skills landed him a publishing deal in LA but knew that Nashville in where he needed to be. After moving to Music City he joined the newly created record label of Herb Albert and Jerry Moss, Almo sounds, and released his debut album in 1996 with it’s first release “Check Please” becoming a top 40 single. In that same year, country star Aaron Tippon recorded a song written by Paul, “That’s As Close As I’ll Get To Loving You” reaching #1 on the country charts for 3 weeks. 


Paul has had two songs featured in NBC movies. Paul and long time friend Keith Urban wrote “You’re Not My God” which Keith place on his multi platinum selling record “Golden Road”.   Paul also had two songs cut by Little Texas. "Texas 101" and "What It's All About".  And In 2023 the band Exile recorded "After You" one of many songs Paul has written with founding member Sonny LeMaire of the legendary band.
