Shawna Russell to be featured in TV special
Shawna Russell performs Saturday at Country Fever in Pryor.
Up-and-coming Oklahoma country singer Shawna Russell will be featured in a local TV special at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
Russell will be profiled on “Believe in Oklahoma: Most Fascinating Oklahomans,” a special produced and to air on KOCO-5 in Oklahoma City.
Jessica Schambach, nightly news anchor at KOCO, met with Russell during the recent CMA Music Festival in Nashville and interviewed the singer-songwriter on a number of topics.
The interview covered a wide range of topics, from Russell’s co-ownership of her record label, Way Out West, to her third single, “Fire in the Desert” from her 2008 debut album “Goddess.” The album was recorded in Oklahoma City.
The Okemah resident has been a working musician for most of her life, first singing in public at age 7. She performed last Saturday at the big Country Fever Music Festival in Pryor.
Other Oklahomans included in the show will be mother and daughter authors, P.C. and Kristin Cast; Congressman Dan Boren; KOCO “Eyewitness News 5 at 5″ anchor, Paul Folger; and Mike Gundy, current OSU football coach.
“I am amazed that they have chosen a small town girl like me to be in the company of the illustrious names who are included in this special.” says Russell in a news release. “I am truly honored.”
