Russell Wellner is a Victoria, BC based singer-songwriter and guitarist originally from Toronto, Ontario. He grew up writing music and busking on street corners from a young age. Studying theatre in college, his writing became incredibly character-driven. After arriving in BC in 2021, he found immense musical inspiration living in small towns on the edge of the world. 

Russell’s songwriting blends east coast Celtic music, west coast campfire folk, and environmental protest anthems.

Russell Wellner’s self-titled debut EP was released in 2023.
