Dan Russell (artist manager)

On February 1, 2024, it was announced that Dan Russell had signed with MI5 Records and Universal Music Group. This deal effectively revived Fingerprint Records, providing worldwide distribution and marketing support for Russell's music. Following the limited release of Dan Russell's 2017 record, Feel The Echoes, the album was remixed, resequenced, remastered, and retitled to Echoes at the request of the new label. Universal Music Group treated Echoes as a new release, with an official release scheduled for June 9, 2024. Available on all digital platforms: [https://open.spotify.com/album/4eeHHP7Ruk7xUWNexhkrmv Echoes on Spotify].

Echoes achieved significant success on national rock radio charts. The album maintained a position in the top 20 of the national rock radio chart for 24 consecutive weeks. During this period, it reached an estimated 1.6 million listeners weekly and received more than 1,250 spins per week on rock radio stations nationwide.

In 1998 Dan Russell founded and spearheaded the organization of the Soulfest, a multi-day music festival with core focus on faith and social justice. At first held at Loon Mountain in Lincoln, New Hampshire.{{cite web |url = http://altrocklive.com/blog/2013/07/soulfest-2013-all-you-need-to-know/ |title = Soulfest 2013 All You Need to Know |author = Drew Bartlett |website = Alt Rock Live |date = July 10, 2013 |accessdate = May 25, 2014 }} The 3 day festival began at Loon Mountain in Lincoln, New Hampshire and changed locations in 2005 to Gunstock Mountain Resort in Gilford, NH.{{citation needed|date=April 2025}} The festival featured such christian music outlets as Skillet, TobyMac, Third Day, Switchfoot, Kardia, The Chariot, Flyleaf, Jason Upton, Maeve, and Matt Maher.{{citation needed|date=April 2025}}

At the conclusion of SoulFest 2022, organizers announced that SoulFest would relocate to the D.L. Moody Center in Northfield, Massachusetts. According to Gunstock Area Commission meeting minutes, Gunstock management sought early termination of its contract with SoulFest on the grounds that the event (which had grown to over 10,000 attendees per day, and as much as 25,000 per year) was not profitable for the resort and required significant resources, maxing out parking and campsite capacity in 2022. Festival founder Dan Russell stated "they just didn't want us back."{{cite web |url = https://sports.yahoo.com/soulfest-celebrates-last-gunstock-move-080500080.html |title = SoulFest Celebrates Last Year at Gunstock Before Move to Mass. |author = Jon Phelps |website = Yahoo!Sports |date = August 8, 2022 |accessdate = January 2, 2023 }} Organizers moved ahead with advertising and selling tickets for Northfield SoulFest (proposed August 3–5, 2023), although the event had not received event permit approval from the Town of Northfield Selectboard as late as December 2022.{{cite web |url = https://montaguereporter.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/November-10-2022.pdf |title = Conflict Over SoulFest Hits Town Hall |author = Chip Ainsworth |website = The Montague Reporter |date = November 10, 2022 |accessdate = January 2, 2023 }}{{cite web |url = https://www.recorder.com/Northfield-Selectboard-reviews-letter-to-SoulFest-organizers-reflecting-concerns-49277082/ |title = Northfield Selectboard Dissecting Soulfest Proposal |author = Mary Byrne |website = The Greenfield Recorder |date = December 21, 2022 |accessdate = January 2, 2023 }} In discussions with the town representatives of Northfield, the Moody Center proposed an event attendance of 8,500 for the first Northfield SoulFest. Local residents have raised concerns that the Town of Northfield (pop. 2866 in 2020), the Moody Center itself (a former preparatory school), and the local area all lack the infrastructure to host a large regional event.{{cite web |url = https://www.recorder.com/my-turn-Hastings-Soul-of-Northfield-49130797 |title = My Turn: The Soul of Northfield |author = Virginia and Howard Hastings |website = The Greenfield Recorder |date = December 12, 2022 |accessdate = January 2, 2023 }}
