songwriter’s resume’ should be bigger than a business card, but all Darrell Scott needs on his is his name. While Scott’s reputation as a sure thing hit composer in Nashville and beyond is stellar, there are not enough fans who are aware of, and who really appreciate his other talents – singing and playing those songs. Scott has been steadily changing that dynamic, one show at a time. A performance will feature not only his original jewels, but a respectful number of covers by both his heroes and his fellow journeymen song crafters. His newest album, The Couchville Sessions, has been out for a while, but there will likely be a few choice cuts played this evening, and hopefully a few new tunes.
