The Concert Room welcomes Author Russ DiBella - Tales from behind the backstage curtain and inside the world of concerts!

Send us Fan MailThe Concert Room Welcomes special guest Russ DiBella, local musician and author who’s love of music and backstage adventures are captured in his book, “From the Inside: A Backdrop to the Music of My Life”. "From the Inside" is a fun and informative detailed look of how music shaped his life, became an integral part of his world and lets fans peek behind the proverbial curtain of the shows and concerts during the heyday of rock shows from the Spectrum to Camden Waterfront to Live Aid, and even the MTV Music Awards! Along the way, Russ shares moments with backstage personnel, security, the crews and techs and of course well-known musicians and bands, providing insight into the inner workings of live concerts and the culture of rock and country music. Russ is also a Drummer who has collected hundreds of drumsticks obtained from many of his adventures. Ultimately, the book is a reflection on a life lived through music — how it influenced his identity, relationships, creativity, and understanding of the world. Links to Russ DiBella published books. Amazon.com: From the Inside: A Backdrop to the Music of My Life eBook : DiBella, Russ: Kindle Store Amazon.com: A Drive Down the Coast: Getting Lost on the Back Roads of California eBook : DiBella, Russ: Kindle Store
