Performing music may just be in Scott Stevens’ blood. The artist/songwriter grew up surrounded
by all things music. Mom led the church choir, Dad played with the Talking Heads and Joe
Walsh of the Eagles. “My mom was always singing and my dad had his guitars, a couple Les
Pauls, hanging up on the wall, and I wanted to be like them” Scott says. “I remember first
digging the non-musical concepts of short stories and screen writing and how structured but
creative it was" he describes how he started writing songs. “It really wasnt until I saw how
difficult and demanding it is to write that I knew my heart was in country music,” the Knoxville,
Tennessee native says. “The melodies are addictive. The lyrics have to be a perfect blend of
simplicity and complexity. No other genre demands that; I like that challenge he says.
​
Performing the music he writes was essentially a by-product of his personality. Really, I started
performing music before I should have" he laughs. "I had no idea what I was doing starting out –
no one does – but I gave zero f*cks about that." See a show now, and its obvious that Scott
learned what he was doing somewhere along the way. And learned well. His show is part holy
sh*t, that was great and part I might be hungover tomorrow.’ Hes an FGL party with a shot of
Keith Urban. Sure theres definitely some Keith in there somewhere says Scott acknowledging
the comparison, but adds if Keith Urban listened to way too much Sugar Ray and Red Hot Chili
Peppers growing up
