Premik Russell Tubbs

Among our world’s most talented multi-instrumentalists, Premik Russell Tubbs, is a virtuoso master of soprano, tenor and alto saxophones, all genres of flutes, as well as lap steel guitar. He is renowned for his brilliance which spans all arenas from jazz fusion to traditional eastern mellifluous melodies, to his own ingenious soul-infused improvisation. Premik is a skilled innovator and prolific artist whose unique approach brings both a cosmic and spiritual vibe to the sound he projects.

In his early years, Premik was greatly influenced by and had the privilege of studying with saxophonists Joe Allard and Ornette Coleman. He is a composer, recording artist, producer, and instructor whose distinctive career has been flourishing for five decades.

He has toured the world, has performed and/or recorded with Carlos Santana, John McLaughlin and The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Whitney Houston, Regina Belle, Sting and Trudy Styler’s Concerts for the Rainforest at Carnegie Hall, Herbie Hancock, Clarence Clemons, Jean-Luc and Clara Ponty, Scarlet Rivera, Ravi and Anoushka Shankar, Krishna Das, Lonnie Liston Smith, Lady Gaga, Elton John, Billy Joel, James Taylor and the list goes on.

Since 2010, Premik is the on-call wind player for Grammy winning producer Will Ackerman, founder of Windham Hill Records, at Imaginary Road Studios. Today, the lyrical beauty of Premik’s alluring and wide range of styles continues to expand and evolve.
Premik now lives in Connecticut, USA, a little over an hour outside of New York City, with his wife and muse, Margee Minier Tubbs. His new recording studio is often where you’ll find him when he’s not playing gigs, teaching students or exploring the beauty of nature, music and spiritual practice.

Premik’s illustrious musical career spans decades and musical styles, collaborating with dozens of top-name artists, from the halls of New York City to epic venues around the globe. Like the man himself, his eclectic, award-winning music bridges East & West, from classic Jazz, Pop & Rock to Indian Ragas and New Age genres. He is equally adept on various instruments including multiple Saxophones, Flutes, Wind Synthesizers and Lap Steel Guitar.
