Scott Anthony

After years supporting other artists on stage and in the studio (Highlights include stints in <a href="spotify:artist:6oVMiR1LZCq5oTrIn72uXu" data-name="Shake Anderson">Shake Anderson</a>&#39;s lovesauce and soulbones, <a href="spotify:artist:43DYg3seHmWI0gOVvsF4XT" data-name="Danny Flanigan and The Rain Chorus">Danny Flanigan and The Rain Chorus</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1xJ05bjInTks1ts192rb5F" data-name="The Ron Hayden Group">The Ron Hayden Group</a> and Frisbee, and co-writing and producing <a href="spotify:artist:6MatPZnBrF6oBBYin8EKBn" data-name="Joe Hanna">Joe Hanna</a>&#39;s <a href="spotify:album:4SxfOZdrZ7Zf42aVGXZZMG" data-name="Machine">Machine</a>.) and serving as an actor, musician and sound designer in theatre (with work on numerous Humana Festival of New American Plays world premieres), a pandemic trip to Scott&#39;s hometown was the perfect excuse to finally start recording a solo debut.

Setting up camp in a church shuttered by COVID in Louisville&#39;s West End, Scott brought in a host of the city&#39;s all star musicians, including Paul Culligan (<a href="spotify:artist:1xIFgw3sJNYAKMU9mGzvbJ" data-name="Edenstreet">Edenstreet</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3895A5cgihcxWtX6acR0PG" data-name="Johnny Berry &amp; The Outliers">Johnny Berry &amp; The Outliers</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:07jc1IMGtecDZzOL9cP50t" data-name="Days Of The New">Days Of The New</a>), <a href="spotify:artist:5LvIFQPBHBfpnUemITmpbx" data-name="Danny Kiely">Danny Kiely</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:2zAvisjImPICTNsRgagqlV" data-name="Bonnie Prince Billy">Bonnie Prince Billy</a>), <a href="spotify:artist:4tDtRrGaRB2yd8MzVhaNXs" data-name="Chris Rodahaffer">Chris Rodahaffer</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:6HIoxCFJy92f1DbyK0azhi" data-name="Roadie">Roadie</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1Pjnp0DcTfoN37OxrzIgim" data-name="Arnett Hollow">Arnett Hollow</a>), <a href="spotify:artist:7BqoORJEXEYuA3wBFoQcnj" data-name="Brigid Kaelin">Brigid Kaelin</a>, Joe Hanna, <a href="spotify:artist:4d4XfNb7gCbxljHDdwmjWj" data-name="Steve Cooley">Steve Cooley</a> and Mauriece Hamilton (<a href="spotify:artist:5ivMNJWygqpZJaDSrbzBWD" data-name="The Big Diggity">The Big Diggity</a>) to record a set of songs that are, at turns, hard-hitting and delicate, down-home and soulful, introspective and playful, but all heartfelt and honest.

“Jacket”, Scott’s first single, sad bastard waltzes around the remains of a love that just didn’t make it, rages at the futility of trying to rewrite the ending of the relationship, then resolves to move forward with an acceptance that it was worth it to feel something real, even for a moment.

The second single, &#34;Otis&#34;, is Scott&#39;s tribute to Redding and ode to music&#39;s power to give us all solace and the strength to make it through the dark nights of our soul.
