Allison Russell to Host Saturday Night Takeover on Radio Woodstock

Allison Russell will captivate audiences with an exclusive Saturday Night Takeover on Radio Woodstock, airing on Saturday, December 23 at 10:00 PM.  Russell is a GRAMMY-nominated singer, songwriter, poet, activist, and multi-instrumentalist.

Allison Russell’s Saturday Night Takeover is not only a celebration of her own artistry but also a journey through the sounds that have shaped her as a musician. The playlist will feature a mix of her own tracks alongside carefully selected songs that have left an indelible mark on her musical identity.

Since her first solo album, Outside Child, two years ago, Russell has redefined what artistry means in the 21st century. Now comes the second chapter in her story, The Returner, released this past September, currently nominated for four GRAMMYs, a body-shaking, mind-expanding, soulful expression of Black liberation, Black love, of Black self-respect.

Russell has consistently used her newfound platform to elevate, educate and inspire; curating the history making Once And Future Sounds: Roots and Revolution set for the Newport Folk Festival in 2021 and mobilizing this year’s triumphant Love Rising All-Star benefit concert in support of LGBTQIA+ causes in Nashville, are just two of the many examples where she’s raised her voice with power and purpose.

This takeover on Radio Woodstock provides fans and music enthusiasts with a rare opportunity to experience Russell’s musical world in an intimate setting.
