Darrell Scott

Multi-Instrumentalist and Singer-Songwriter Darrell Scott mines and cultivates the
everyday moment, taking the rote, menial, mundane, and allowing it to be surreal, ever
poignant, and candidly honest, lilting, blooming, and resonating. The words he fosters
allow us to make sense of the world, what is at stake here, and our place in it. And
ultimately, Darrell knows the sole truth of life is that love is all that matters, that we
don’t always get it right, but that’s the instinctive and requisite circuitous allure of
things, why we forever chase it, and why it is held sacred.

Darrell Scott comes from a musical family with a father who had him smitten with
guitars by the age of 4, alongside a brother who played Jerry Reed style as well. From
there, things only ramped up with literature and poetry endeavors while a student at
Tufts University, along with playing his way through life. This would never change.
After recently touring with Robert Plant and Zac Brown Band (2 years with each), and
producing albums for Malcolm Holcombe and Guy Clark and being named “songwriter of
the year” for both ASCAP and NSAI, these days find him roaming his Tennessee
wilderness acreage hiking along the small river, creating delicious meals with food
raised on his property, and playing music. He often leads songwriting workshops to help
people tell their own truths with their stories, and is as busy as always writing,
producing, performing, and just plain fully immersing himself in life.
