CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Hal Horowitz Recommends: Journeyman string player/multi-instrumentalist Scott was a major figure in the folk/singer-songwriter circles as an in-demand session player and songsmith before he joined with Robert Plant, Patty Griffin and Buddy Miller in 2010’s short lived Band of Joy. That raised his profile, but apparently not enough to get him booked into larger venues than this intimate Decatur space. Regardless, his deep well of songs ensures that no two shows are alike, and the smaller space affords him the ability to share his affable and informative patter about a life as colorful and full as they come. — HH
From the venue:
Multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Darrell Scott mines and cultivates the everyday moment, taking the rote, menial, mundane, and allowing it to be surreal, ever poignant, and candidly honest, lilting, blooming, and resonating.
The words he fosters allow us to make sense of the world, what is at stake here, and our place in it. And ultimately, Darrell knows the sole truth of life is that love is all that matters, that we don’t always get it right, but that’s the instinctive and requisite circuitous allure of things, why we forever chase it, and why it is held sacred.
