The music of Quicksilver Night is probably best described as “distilled progressive rock” because it often incorporates elements of progressive rock such as exotic modes and composite meters but it generally eschews extended song structures in favor of a more concise songwriting style than is usually associated with the genre.

“Although I am deeply involved in every facet of all things Quicksilver Night at every step of the way the simple truth remains that I cannot – and do not – do this alone; I depend heavily upon the support of my song-specific collaborators and tech-savvy friends in order to bring this music into existence. I am immensely grateful for their support.” – Warren Russell

Quicksilver Night is guitarist/composer Warren Russell and a small but widening circle of musical collaborators around the world. Please see “Latest News” for the latest updates about ongoing projects and upcoming releases.

Panel 1

Coming October 31!

Releasing on October 31st, 2025, the syncopated rhythms and quartal harmonies of Quicksilver Night’s digital single “Rocket Surgery” lean heavily towards the jazz end of the musical spectrum. Sung with both humor and class by DeVé, the song’s amazing vocalist and dynamic co-writer, “Rocket Surgery” outlines an adult woman’s pointed advice to her paramour – a little flirtatious, a little sarcastic – as to how to treat her better, basically concluding with a tongue-in-cheek “It’s not rocket surgery.”

Panel 2

Words

One of four singles released from Missing Persons’ 1982 “Spring Sessions M” album, “Words” spoke to teenage me about mass media overload in deceptively sugar-coated terms and I loved it. I believe our version of “Words” maintains the original intention of the song, as I understand it: a protest against media overload and its promulgation of false narratives.
