Project Description
This band was literally born out of PlumFest! Charlie and the Hustle’s fun mix of covers and originals makes them a destination band for many discerning PlumFest goers. You may have seen them perform recently at the 2026 Yankee Homecoming Kickoff Party, Strawberry Fest, and great local venues like the Dolphin at Salisbury Beach, Newburyport Brewing Co, and Riptide Cafe and Bar Plum Island.
Performers:
Charlie Russell: guitar and vocals
Frank Mele: keyboard, harmonica and vocals
