Suffice it to say, Scott Sean White is a dedicated singer/songwriter and an artist that exudes emotion. His music is borne from real life experience, complete with the hopes, heartaches and happenstance that define that journey and the revelations that occur along the way. Scott’s success as a writer is firmly established. Major artists have recorded his songs and his own albums have topped the iTunes Singer-Songwriter charts. Scott started making trips once or twice a month back and forth from Texas to Nashville in 2005, signed his first publishing deal in 2007, and for the last five years, has been there writing for his current publisher two weeks every month. And while he writes songs that can find a fit in the musical mainstream, he also makes it a point to write songs that are true to him. They tend to be so poignant, passionate and personal that only he could sing them. Funny enough, he never envisioned himself as an artist per se. He says that by the time he started making his trips to Nashville, he had outgrown the desire to be famous. “It just didn’t interest me anymore,” he insists. “My heart was in the off-thebeaten path songs that had some real meat on the bone. And that’s not exactly commercial.” Singer-Songwriter Narissa Bond will open! Her mother urged her to tell family stories. Narissa took that to heart -- “When I write, my ancestors speak to me.” And it’s a clear voice, like the one in “Road to Berea”. Other stories flow through her songs, some that are personal. Blessed with a warm soprano, this award-winning musician has released several albums. You can hear her idols in her music, from Joni Mitchell’s and Tracy Chapman's finely crafted songs. But Narissa is her own woman. She studied classical music, and jazz guitar, and there are elements of that in her work, as well as a nod to the blues and a strong connection to contemporary folk. ~https://narissabond.com/home
