Eddie Owen Presents: Darrell Scott [2 DAYS OF SHOWS]

Eddie Owen presents American Singer-Songwriter and Multi-instrumentalist, Darrell Scott, to perform at the Red Clay Music Foundry for two shows on Thursday, February 28th at 7:30pm and Friday, March 1st at 8pm. Each performance features different supporting artists with Levi Lowrey supporting for Thursday's concert, and Chuck McDowell supporting on Friday's concert.

The son of musician Wayne Scott, Darrell Scott became one of the more successful country songwriters of the late '90s and early 2000s, writing songs for the biggest names in country music such as Garth Brooks, the Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and many others, including several major chart hits. Simultaneously he worked consistently as a studio musician and released a series of his own solo albums.

Whether it's rock, folk, country or blues, Darrell Scott, the 4-time Grammy nominated Nashville songwriter, has written hits all the way from Brad Paisley and the Dixie Chicks to Del McCoury, Sam Bush and Keb Mo; contributing songs to three of 2016’s best albums alone. It’s not surprising that Scott wrote nine of the 14 songs on his own new album, Couchville Sessions, and less surprising that he wrote three songs with the like-minded Americana artist Hayes Carll on Carll’s magnificent new disc, Lovers and Leavers, in addition to “1000 Things” from Sarah Jarosz’s award winning Build Me Up From Bones album.

What’s more surprising is that Darrell came off of a year and a half of touring in Robert Plant’s Band of Joy with a co-write on R&B star Anthony Hamilton’s new recording, “Save Me,” the opening track on What I’m Feelin. Over the past two years Darrell has produced, co-written, and performed on three songs from Zac Brown’s latest project Heavy Is the Head, in addition to producing Jonathan Edwards latest and Malcolm Holcombe’s upcoming 2017 release, Pretty Little Troubles. But these partnerships all makes sense: Although they hail from different genres, these artists are master craftsmen at fitting words to notes.

Throughout his musical career, Darrell Scott has gone on to achieve an incredible amount of awards and accolades, including but not limited to:

• Grammy Nomination for Best Country Song – “Long Time Gone” Dixie Chicks 2003;
• Grammy Nomination for Best Country Instrumental Performance – “The Second Mouse” 2001;
• Americana 2007 Song of the Year “Hank Williams’ Ghost,”
• Rolling Stone Magazine listed Theatre of the Unheard as one of the 2003 Critics Top Albums;
• ASCAP Songwriter of the Year 2002;
• NSAI Songwriter of the Year 2001;
• Songs recorded by over 70 artists including:
  • Dixie Chicks, Keb Mo, Faith Hill, Guy Clark, Sam Bush, Maura O’Connell, Kathy Mattea, Brad Paisley, Sara Evans, Garth Brooks, Patty Loveless, Trace Adkins, Tim McGraw; and
• Recorded With:
  • Steve Earle, Kate Rusby, Joan Baez, Jim Lauderdale, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Jon Pousette-Dart, Ginny Hawker, Malcolm Holcombe, John McCusker, Allison Moorer, Jessie Alexander, Randy Travis.
