Biography
Scott Downes has been writing songs and playing them for 20 years. He had the great luck at an early age to hear himself on a few college radio stations, and he decided that this whole music thing was going to be terribly easy. Life is full of surprises.
At this point, Scott will be quite happy to finish an album he can be proud of. To that end, he’s digging through his past to find his favorite musical co-conspirators and get them to record some of these new songs with him.
While living in North Carolina, he played with bands with all sorts of crazy names like the Crispin & Thigpen Experience, Carnival of Fears, The Hands, and The Snake Oil Salesmen. These days, he doesn’t play under any silly name other than his own.
Scott now lives in Atlanta with his wife, his two little boys, and his various stringed instruments.
