Bio

Scott Martin has been a finalist at the Telluride Troubadour Contest, a winner at Songwriter Serenade, a finalist at the Wildflower Performing Songwriter contest, and was twice a Kerrville New Folk Regional Finalist.  Scott’s record “Missing”,  released in 2018, featured a song cycle about historical missing persons including Amelia Earhart, DB Cooper, Everett Ruess, Virginia Dare and Percy Fawcett.

Scott's most recent record "Corner of the World" was released in 2022. It charted at #21 in the US on the Folk DJ chart and also on the Euro Americana Chart. Musicians from the US and Europe contributed virtually to Martin's tracks that were recorded in Austin starting right after the Covid lockdown in March 2020, to which he then added piano, orchestration and other parts to create ten perfectly embroidered songs. Martin co-produced the album with Michael Henchman of Vancouver, Washington, who played bass, electric guitar and other instruments on many of the songs.  

Scott has worked as a recording session vocalist in Los Angeles for film, TV and commercials. He has opened for, performed or recorded with Eliza Gilkyson, Kenny Rankin, Valerie Carter, Patty Loveless, Chuck Pyle, Matt Bissonette,  Grant Geissman and others. He toured with Lynda Carter, performing in the US and internationally, and appeared with her on the Tonight Show and TV specials. His mixture of folk, pop and jazz influences, combined with classical training from a young age through his vocal and composition studies at PLU in Tacoma, inform his songwriting and arrangements.

Scott is a native of the Pacific Northwest and now lives near Boulder, Colorado.
