Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Darrell Scott will be performing at the River Road Ice House in New Braunfels, TX on Friday, June 24. Doors open at 7:00 PM and the show starts at 8:30p.m. Scott is touring in support of his album Couchville Sessions which released on May 13th via Full Light Records. The project has already garnered praise in Garden & Gun, Rolling Stone Country, American Songwriter and more. Ever the unconventional artist, Scott has always forged his own path. He has penned hit songs for mainstream artists, and has had songs covered by over 70 others spanning from from Keb Mo’ to Mary Gauthier. In 2012 Scott recorded and toured as part of Robert Plant’s brilliant Band Of Joy, gaining him even more respect and admiration from a wider range of musicians in broader genres. Couchville Sessions is Scott’s first solo album since Long Ride Home in 2012. Scott’s approach to making music parallels the way he also has chosen to live. Currently making his home outside of Nashville, on the Cumberland Plateau, he focuses on a sustainable lifestyle, heating with wood, utilizing solar energy and growing his food. The fourteen songs on Couchville Sessions are a natural and inevitable product of this pure and unapologetic approach to making music and living life. The material on the album is comprised of mostly Darrell Scott originals, mixed with a few carefully chosen nods to “the masters” including Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and Townes Van Zandt. Scott tackles profound issues – demise of relationships in “Time To Go Away”, mortality “It’s Another Day To Live And Die” and depression in “Another Grey Morning” (James Taylor), but delivers them in such a way that there’s a sense and light and comfort in this collection. The musicians gathered together for this recording are a hand-picked group of virtuosos including acclaimed English musician Danny Thompson on bass, percussionist Kenny Malone, steel guitar wiz Dan Dugmore, and Bill Payne (Little Feat/The
