Board Member Russell Terrell Receives Curtain Award

Russell Terrell

Hats off to our longtime member Russell Terrell on the occasion of his being given Belmont University’s Curtain Call Award. This award is a recognition of outstanding achievement in the arts by a Belmont graduate. The award was presented on Monday evening, Jan. 28, 2013 in Belmont’s Massey Concert Hall by Dr. Cynthia Curtis, Dean of the College of Visual and Performing Arts.  

Following the award presentation, attendees were treated to a mini-documentary titled Russell Terrell: The Voice Behind the Voice. Several of Nashville’s well-known music producers paid tribute to Russell’s abilities, work ethic and dependability as a professional singer. Russell had a few guest artists help demonstrate his background singing live. Then he used Pro Tools to demonstrate how he thinks about crafting vocals behind a lead singer in order to enhance the song without distracting from the main artist. It was an informative presentation that affirmed the reason that Russell was chosen for this honor. "Congratulations to Russell on this important milestone and recognition. I was proud to have attended and proud that Russell is very much a pro-SAG-AFTRA member," said Jim Ferguson, Vice President, Recording Artists.
