Scott’s music is deeply personal and introspective, with a focus on crafting honest songs about love, life, murder, and broken hearts. His soulful voice and guitar work blend elements of country and Americana with a modern twist, creating a sound that is both timeless and fresh. His songs are raw and authentic, with a sincerity that speaks to listeners. Now backed up by the Stink Bug Bourbon band, Scott’s songs come to life. This talented band consists of: Scott Spinner on bass, River Dave Kenny on drums, and Shaun Nicklin on pedal steel. “One sip and you’ll be hooked.”
