Scott Smith is a new songwriter with indelible lyrics and catchy musical hooks. A San Francisco native that grew up listening to The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and The Byrds, he loves music that has power, lifts your spirits and makes you move. Scott is creating a fresh breath to Americana music with a Rockin/Blues flavor.
His first guitar teacher was David Nelson of the New Riders of the Purple Sage and loved the stories David told about the beginnings of the 60s music scene in San Francisco, with artists like Janis Joplin and Pigpen. Along with recording, Scott plays fiddle in an Old Time Music group and enjoys the early Origins of American music, drawing off of it for song ideas of this timeless Beautiful music.
He is currently in the studio working on his second album full of stomping wicked grooves. One of the contributing artists is David Grisman with his signature sound. The album is a serious rocker with more tracks from Nina Gerber and David LaFlamme.
