The night began with an energy rousing hard rockin set by Bridge To Grace. These four guys from Atlanta, GA were incredible as they fueled the crowd with adrenaline and a fierce set. Scott and his band took to the stage and delivered a magical awe inspiring performance. In an interview with Scott back in 2014, we talked about what he most looks forward to out on the road and he explained this feeling, “I look forward to this feeling that I get onstage… compared to an athlete being “in the zone”. It keeps me fired up and passionate and I want that feeling, and I strive to go to that place live where you almost feel like you are not in control but you have no fear. You feel you can hit every [Read More]

Discovering Americana and the Roots of Rock ‘n’ Roll

August 1, 2016

  I have always loved a mix of musical styles. I guess that is what brought me to my current interest in Americana music. Americana pulls from the varied traditions and genres that have developed in America.  The Americana Music Association defines it as “contemporary music that incorporates elements of various American roots music styles, including country, roots-rock, folk, bluegrass, R&B and blues, resulting in a distinctive roots-oriented sound that lives in a world apart…” I just define it as all that American style music that I love! Being a big fan of live music, I had wanted for some time to attend the Americana Music Festival and Conference in Nashville. This last year provided the opportunity to do this and also along the way discover some of the roots of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

As soon as you walk off the airplane in Memphis, you know where you are, with signs and banners reading – the “Home of the [Read More]
