“I’m saying hello to a new dream
I’m taking it back what’s left of me
Don’t even try
You can’t stop me now!

I gotta feeling where I used to be numb.
I can feel it now rushing through my blood.
I’m stronger than I ever thought I was,
and now I found another way out of here.”

– Scott Stapp ‘Break Out’ Lyrics

Grammy award winning artist Scott Stapp will be hitting the road this summer in support of his solo album, Proof of Life. This is the second full length album and is quite a personal one for Scott. The album is a collection of amazing rock tracks yet filled with emotionally driven lyrics and sung through the amazingly unmistakable vocals of Scott. Proof of Life is the first new material since Scott‘s release of his 2012 uncensored memoir where he shared his life story of his fundamentalist upbringing, the rise of Creed, his ongoing battle with addiction, the rediscovery of his faith and the launch of his solo career.

The album has been getting rave reviews as it not only satisfies your need for rock, but also provides the listener a connection to the emotional journey of life. Proof of Life was produced by Howard Benson, mixed by Chris Lord-Alge and debuted at #37 on the Billboard Top 200 Charts.  With the great success of the album, Scott is setting out on another leg of the US tour in support of the album.

Really excited to get back on the road,” Stapp remarked. “Performing live and seeing my fans up close and person is really special to me. It’s important for me to stay connected to my fans that have been on this journey with me. I’m so grateful for everyone that has stuck by me through the years. Every night is unique & different.  It’s really humbling to watch the fans sing along to my new music and I promise to give the fans a show they will not forget.

We had the opportunity to chat with Scott about his upcoming tour, the album and how things are going with his solo career. We are pleased to bring that interview to you here:

 

So I hope you get a chance to take a look at the tour dates and get yourself to a show.  One thing is for sure, Scott‘s performances provide a night that is truly magical. Whether you are there to rock out, emotionally connect, immerse yourself into song, or to support Scott on his musical journey, it will be a night you will not soon forget.
