Russell Schmitt Live at Forestville Vines

Some artists play music—Russell Schmitt lives it, breathes it, and beams it out across the crowd like sunshine on a late-summer afternoon.

Hailing from St. Paul, Russell is a master of connection—whether he’s strumming an easygoing folk-rock tune, tapping into soft rock nostalgia, or singing a heartfelt Americana ballad that makes you close your eyes and sway without realizing it. His voice is smooth, his stage presence magnetic, and his songs? Let’s just say you’ll be humming them on the way home.

He’s got a knack for reading the room—lifting spirits, drawing people in, and getting even the shyest guest to mouth the lyrics or tap a foot. It’s music that feels familiar and fresh all at once, like an old friend with a brand-new story to tell.

Come early, stay late.
We’ll have hand crafted oven baked pizza, crisp wine, cold beer, cozy cocktails, and all the charm of a countryside evening—plus bonfires, board games, and plenty of spots to sit and sip with your crew (or make new ones). Bring your own game, bring your best friend, or bring your whole neighborhood—we’ll take it from there.
