Little Rock Folk Club presents Texas S/S Scott Sean White in concert Fri Aug 2nd 2024
"Some songwriters spend precious time struggling to find their truth and make it rhyme. Others just pick up their guitar and tell it. Scott Sean White is one of the others.- Jack Ingram, singer and songwriter
Suffice it to say, Scott Sean White is a dedicated singer/songwriter and an artist that exudes emotion. His music is borne from real life experience, complete with the hopes, heartaches and happenstance that define that journey and the revelations that occur along the way. Thats never been more obvious than on his tellingly-titled upcoming album, Even on the Bad Days - the follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut, Call It Even. Releasing on January 19, it was produced by Grammy nominated producer Dave Brainard, who was at the helm for Brandy Clarks landmark album 12 Stories (the Grammy nomination) as well as albums by Jamey Johnson, Sunny Sweeney, Jon Wolfe, Drew Kennedy, and many others.
When I started planning this record, I felt like I needed to have more up-tempo songs and more full band songs Just to kind of take the next step from the first record, to progress forward, Scott says. The challenge with that was finding a sound that made sense with my voice and my songs, because a record with my name on it was not gonna be anything remotely resembling mainstream Nashville. It had to be me. Thats why I went and talked to my friend Dave Brainard to see if he would consider producing the project. Hes an outside-the-mainstream guy. He produces left-of-center songwriter records, so I felt like he could help me find that sound that would make sense for my stuff. And boy - did he ever. Thats clearly evident in each of these songs, each a strikingly sensitive reflection of Scotts thoughtful and insightful feelings about life, love and the stages we all go through in an effort to fully grasp the changes and stages our individual journeys undergo. Both mellow and meaningful, Even on the Bad Days shares hope and happenstance in equal measure, allowing it to resonate well beyond any initial encounter.
That said, certain selections bear particular meaning. Pulling Weeds offers a thoughtful analogy about forgoing futile endeavors. It also takes a particularly prominent place in his set lists. As Scott says, When I play this song at shows, I sometimes just say, I dont know about yall, but I spend a lot of time and energy on things I should not spend my time and energy on.
Scotts success as a writer is firmly established. Cody Johnson recorded two of his songs on his Human album, God Bless the Boy and Made a Home, the latter of which was written with both Cody and their mutual friend Jesse Raub, Jr. Cody also recently recorded another song of Scott's called Over Missing You for an upcoming album and hes also been playing it as an encore song at several of his concerts this year. In addition, Scott wrote the title track on Bryan Martins Poets and Old Souls EP. It climbed to #3 on the iTunes Country Album chart on release day, residing alongside superstars like Luke Combs and Lainey Wilson.
Scotts own debut album, Call It Even, reached #3 on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter album chart on its release in April 2021. It produced a #1 song on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter singles chart with When I Go - Acoustic, as well as three other Top 15 singles on the same chart - Famous - Acoustic, Humankind - Acoustic, and Crazy Til It Works - Acoustic.
The kudos came quickly as well. Mike Davies of folking.com said, Its an even bet, this could end up on your 2021 best of. John Apice of Americana Highways declared, "This is where country music should be. One of the years best for sure. Lesley Hastings of Think Country Music added its a debut which has definitely set the bar very high for whatever he has planned for the future
