Darrell Scott CD Release Party + Grace Pettis

The following is the schedule for the evening - all times subject to change without notice:

6:30 - Doors
7:30 - Grace Pettis
8:30 – Darrell Scott

Much of the commentary about Darrell Scott's career has focused on the songs he's written that have been recorded by famous names and voices - those known in music industry parlance as "artists." But then there's the actual word artist, whose definition has nothing to do with radio hits and red carpets. We refer of course to those who create artifacts of aesthetic and intellectual contemplation and wonder, built from experience, skill, reflection and emotional intent. That's an artist. And that, at the end of the day, is Darrell Scott.

"...powerful writing, passionate vocals, and masterful picking." Entertainment Weekly

"...an astonishing vocal range...His guitar prowess is equally impressive; with an arsenal of impeccable acoustic techniques and an electric guitar that is downright incendiary." Acoustic Guitar Magazine

Grace Pettis has spent the last two years building a reputation as a respected songwriter in the music industry. In the fall of 2009 Grace released her self-titled debut album recorded. After releasing her album she splashed on to the music scene winning NPRs 2009 Mountain Stage NewSong Contest, where her, "Nine to Five Girl" was selected for the "Best Song" award. Grace carried this momentum when she performed as an "Official Showcase Artist," at the 2010 International Folk Alliance conference, where she captured the attention of John Platt, Rich Warren and many others as one of the young standouts. Later that spring Grace won the Wildflower Performing Songwriter Contest Grand Prize, and the "People's Choice" award. Grace is gearing up to record her highly anticipated second album, which will be released early 2012. In the mean time Grace will be touring across the country building on her ever growing fan base.
