Hilary Scott and AJ Gennaro Flowers on Mars tour - Portland house concert
This Portland house concert is part of Hilary Scott's Flowers on Mars tour, which incorporates tour dates in the United Kingdom and throughout the US. The recording of the "Flowers on Mars" vinyl marks a new direction in Hilary's Scott's songwriting, and this tour offers exclusive collector's limited-edition, hand-signed copies of the vinyl record (including a digital download card), with a specially designed t-shirt and other exclusive items only intended for this release.
Hilary Scott tours nationally and internationally, presenting audiences with an ever-changing blend of sounds in her performances as a singer-songwriter, pianist, guitarist and violinist. In 2010 she added award-winning songwriter to her list of accolades. Italian producer Euro Ferrari (Bjork, Sting, Pavarotti) says,
"...Hilary Scott writes and sings in a way that creates a fascinating and intimate world, and it is enough for her to utilize only a whisper to raise deep emotions in the listener. Her voice is absolutely extraordinary in its emotional greatness...to listen to Hilary Scott live is as though to "hear" America, that America many of us dreamed of us as children, that brings to mind Woodstock, Joan Baez, Marilyn Monroe, John Kennedy, etc...Hilary is ready...for the big crowds, the big stage, or the little theater, for the young or the less young; it would be difficult for her pop/country style not to enter deep into the heart, in every way."
After winning the international section of the Festival Degli Autori singer-songwriter competition in Sanremo, Italy 2010, Hilary's winning song "And Just" was produced by Euro Ferrari, and released as a single in 2011.
Hilary has performed with some fabulous artists in the decade in which she has been a touring and recording artist. Through a solo career that started in the songwriting boot camp of the Seattle music scene in 2000, to a seven-year stint with the Hilary Scott Band in the Midwest, Scott's music has been classified as roots, americana, folk-rock, indie-rock, pop and even blues. Her newest project, Hilary Scott and The New County Line, stands firmly in the indie-folk genre while still tantalizing the listener with influences too various to pin down. Due to this comfortably chameleon-like nature of Scott's music, she has shared the stage with artists ranging from Europe's hit sensation Cock Robin to country legend Tanya Tucker, jam-band long-timers Little Feat and UK star Beth Orton, to name a few.
Highlights of Scott's career to-date include a publishing deal with Nashville producer Matthew Wilder, consecutive annual wins as "Best Local Artist" by readers of Inside Columbia Magazine, inclusion in the Heartland Arts Council touring roster, international representation by Premier Talent International and impressive CD and digital distribution sales. Hilary Scott's CD Indigo is licensed to Asian distributor, ChiLin Music.
In 2011, Hilary Scott and The New County Line released their first EP, "Still," and have been touring across the US in support if the record. After meeting Michael O'Neill, founder of the Americana Music Series in 2012, and performing at his Seattle-based venue, Hilary was offered the opportunity to tour in the UK. Hilary Scott co-wrote four songs with O'Neill which will be recorded in LA later this summer with legendary guitarist and producer Jonny Lee Schell, (Bonnie Raitt, Taj Majal,)
This house concert, hosted by the Keeton family, will provide you with two long sets of Scott's music, some original renditions of songs you may already know, and a mixture of musical styles featuring Hilary on vocals, piano, guitar, and violin with her husband AJ Gennaro on drums. If any of Hilary's Portland area musician friends attend, don't be surprised if some impromptu collaboration occurs!
