Scott was born in the Susquehanna Valley of Central Pa. He grew up fly fishing along Fishing Creek and enjoying country and folk music. Influenced early on by artists like Harry Chapin, Jim Croce, Cat Stevens and John Denver, Scott combines well conceived intelligent lyrics with vocal emotion and sincerity and delivers them with a gritty weathered style ala John Prine. In a unique fusion of Contemporary Christian, Americana and Country music, he sings about love and life often drawing from his own life experiences.
Profoundly changed by the death of his kid brother Don in 06 Scott found a deeper purpose in Jesus Christ and his songwriting reflects this change. Almost all of his songs are intended to glorify God and bring listeners to our lord Jesus Christ.
Currently Scott lives in Redwood Falls, MN with his wife Jennifer and their 3 sons.
