#178 - Glitterer (Ned Russin)

We have a good one for you tonight! While the Richmond, VA crowd
gets to see Glitterer live (jealous, much!) we are dishing out an
interview with Ned Russin. For several years now several of my
friends have been sending me music whenever Glitterer released
songs. Ned's new project, that officially came to be in 2017 when
he released a self-title album, quickly grew on me. Whenever
someone has a successful project, it's often tough to seperate
oneself from that image. However, Ned had a goal in mind and
quickly got to work - creating the songs mostly on his own by
playing every instrument except for the drums. While Ned had a
plan and hit the ground running with Glitterer, this project
recently welecomed other members into the band. These members
played an "instrumental" role in creating the album the record,
Rationale (released in February of this year). It also seems like
they will continue to be a main stay for the live experience and
possibly future releases. 


Ned has been consistently touring since he was 19-years old after
he dropped out of college to do the band exclusevely. The only
schedule Ned has known is being on the road. But, he has since
put a focus on other things such as finishing up his degree and
working at a record store. Glitterer tours when they can and it's
always a special moment whenever someone can catch them live.
There are a lot of fun stories in this one such as studying on
the road while in Title Fight, his parents valuing an education,
writing an releasing a book three years ago (Horizontal Rust -
check it out!), and looking up to his older brother during the
early years.
