: A ***yTonk with a Global Reach - By for Country Music News International Magazine

Scott Southworth, a Pacific Northwest native now making his mark on Nashville's vibrant music scene, is more than just a singer/songwriter; he's a multi-award-winning artist, a four-time Top 30 charting recording artist in Europe, and the creative force behind the radio/TV shows "The Music Row Show" and "Guerrilla Country." His journey is a testament to talent, hard work, and an unwavering dedication to the heart and soul of traditional country music.

Southworth's songwriting prowess is undeniable, with over 90 independent cuts to his name. His recognition as Country Music People Magazine's "Indie Songwriter of the Year for 2018" solidified his reputation as a master craftsman of lyrics and melodies. His singles, drawn from a rich catalog of albums including "The Last H***y Tonk In Town," "Hey Hillbilly Singer," "These Old Bones," and "Comin' Round To H***y Tonk Again," have resonated with audiences across Europe and garnered significant radio play in the USA. He is a five-time AWA nominee for Male Vocalist of the Year and Pure Country Album of the Year, a testament to his vocal talent and commitment to the genre.

The accolades speak for themselves. In March 2019, his album "Hey Hillbilly Singer!" earned the prestigious "Pure Country Album of the Year" award from the Academy of Western Artists and the "Horizon Award for Country Album" from the NACMAI (North American Country Music Association International). "The Last H***y Tonk In Town" achieved remarkable recognition, landing at #13 in Country Music People Magazine's "Top 25 Albums of the Decade." More recently, Southworth added to his collection of awards, winning the 2024 Josie Music Award for Traditional Country Song of the Year.

Southworth's musical journey continues with the release of his new Hillbilly Trop Rock EP, "Only Dead Fish Go With The Flow," on June 28, 2024. His artistry is further recognized through endorsements with prestigious brands like Larrivee Guitars and Schertler Pickups.

He's a regular performer at iconic Nashville venues such as the Bluebird Cafe, Douglas Corner, and the Commodore Grille, captivating audiences with his authentic country sound. Beyond Nashville, he connects with fans through house concerts and appearances at songwriting festivals across the United States and overseas, recently headlining festivals in France, Spain, Norway, Germany, and New Zealand. His international appeal is a testament to the universal language of his music.

Southworth's talent has also been showcased on national television and radio. He's graced the screens of RFD TV's "Penny Gilley Show," "Market Day Report," and the nationally syndicated "Chico & B-Man" Television Show, as well as NBC's "Today In Nashville." His voice has been heard on prominent radio programs like WSM Radio's "Coffee, Country & Cody," "Nashville Today w/Devon O Day," "The Allnighter" with Marcia Campbell, "Ernest Tubb's Midnight Jamboree," Knoxville's "The Writers Block," and WDVX's "Blue Plate Special" and "Tennessee Shines," among many other local media outlets.

With eight solo songwriting projects under his belt, Southworth's discography is a testament to his prolific creativity. "The Last H***y Tonk In Town," released in August 2016, garnered rave reviews, particularly in Europe and the UK. Country Music People Magazine named him their September 2016 "H***y Tonker Of The Month," and his songs "Whiskey Bottle" and "Whiskey In Heaven" shared the #1 spot on the UK's "Kicking Cuts Chart." "Whiskey Bottle," his first official single, achieved significant radio success in Europe, reaching #3 on the SwissTex charts and earning airplay on BBC UK.

His momentum continued with the 2018 release of "Hey Hillbilly Singer!," another critically acclaimed album that topped the CMP "Kickin' Cuts Chart" and earned him another "H***y Tonker of the Month" title. SavingCountryMusic.com praised the album, stating, "If you don't like Scott Southworth, you don't like Country Music!" Robert K. Oermann of MusicRow.com lauded the title track as "...a bawling, honky-Tonk, beer drinkin' blazer. It doesn't get more in-your-face Country than this."

In July 2020, Southworth released "These Old Bones" under the Flaming Tortuga Records label. The first single, "Brown Liquor," topped the Indie Express Country Singles Chart, and the album received widespread critical acclaim, earning him his third consecutive "H***y Tonker of the Month" title and another chart-topping hit on the CMP "Kickin' Cuts" Chart.

His latest full-length project, "Comin' Round To H***y Tonk Again" (September 2023), features collaborations with artists like Dallas Moore and a unique track, "Country No Matter What Country," showcasing seven indie artists from seven different countries. The album has garnered positive reviews from respected publications such as Country Music People Magazine, ION Indie Magazine, and Country Music News International.

Scott Southworth's contributions to music have been recognized through his inductions into the Springfield High School Hall of Fame and the Academy of Local Musicians - Nashville Hall of Fame. He is not just a performer; he is a storyteller, a songwriter, and a true ambassador of traditional country music, carrying the torch for the genre with passion, authenticity, and a global reach.

: A Without Boundaries - By for Country Music News International Magazine

Scott Shipley isn't just a musician; he's a musical force of nature. A singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and a self-proclaimed sixth-generation "card-totin' Hillbilly" from the Missouri Ozarks, Shipley's life has been steeped in music from the very beginning. His story isn't just about performing; it's about a lifelong immersion in the craft, a relentless pursuit of musical expression, and a refusal to be confined by genre or expectation.

Shipley's musical journey began almost before he could walk. At the tender age of three, he declared his intention to make music his life's work. His parents, recognizing his passion, didn't just encourage him; they actively supported his dream. By the age of five, he was already performing, a testament to his innate talent and his family's dedication. His childhood wasn't typical; it was spent on the road, touring with his family and absorbing the rich tapestry of American music. His first "bunk" on the family tour bus was a bus wheel – a literal symbol of his life on the move, immersed in the world of performance.

With over four and a half decades in the music business, Shipley's experiences are vast and varied. His travels have taken him across 48 states, five continents, and 27 countries, exposing him to a global spectrum of musical styles and traditions. He's shared the stage with a remarkable array of artists, from country music legends like Johnny Cash and Bill Monroe to rock icons like Kid Rock, and many others spanning every imaginable genre. This eclectic mix of influences has shaped his unique musical identity, allowing him to seamlessly blend disparate styles into his own signature sound.

Shipley's performances are renowned for their "without a net" approach. He throws himself into each performance with an unrestrained energy, creating an experience that is both exhilarating and unpredictable. His musical range is astounding, encompassing everything from lightning-fast bluegrass instrumentals to the raw power of classic rock and roll, the soulful depths of swamp blues, and his own distinctive brand of "Hillbilly music." He's as comfortable interpreting an Edgar Allan Poe poem as he is delivering a Johnny Cash medley, demonstrating a breadth of artistic vision that transcends genre boundaries.

When performing solo, Shipley becomes a one-man orchestra. He masterfully incorporates a dizzying array of instruments, including guitars of every variety, dulcimer, mandolin, banjo, pedal steel guitar, harmonica, and even drums, which he plays with his feet while simultaneously playing guitar with his hands. This remarkable feat of coordination and musical dexterity is a testament to his skill and dedication.

What truly sets Scott Shipley apart is his unwavering passion for his craft. This passion fuels his relentless exploration of musical styles, his dedication to mastering multiple instruments, and his commitment to delivering an unforgettable performance every time he takes the stage. He defies categorization, refusing to be pigeonholed into a single genre or label. Trying to define him in a few words is an exercise in futility. He is a musical chameleon, constantly evolving and surprising his audience.

Scott Shipley's music isn't just entertainment; it's an experience. It's an escape to a musical paradise crafted from his own unique vision. His performances are a tapestry of colors, sights, and sounds, a journey that takes the listener on a unique and unforgettable ride every time. He doesn't just play music; he inhabits it, embodying the spirit of every note and lyric. His performances are a testament to the power of music to transport, to transform, and to connect us to something deeper than ourselves. Scott Shipley isn't just a musician; he's a storyteller, a craftsman, and a true original, carving his own path through the landscape of American music.

: A Forged in - By for Country Music News International Magazine

From the heart of West Virginia to the vibrant music scene of Nashville, Scott Honaker's journey has been a testament to the enduring power of music. His story is one of passion, perseverance, and the unwavering pursuit of a dream, woven with the threads of family, faith, and the timeless allure of country music.

Born and raised in St. Albans, West Virginia, Scott is the youngest of four children. Music wasn't just an interest in the Honaker household; it was a way of life. From his earliest memories, Scott was immersed in its comforting embrace. The small kitchen of his childhood home served as his first stage, where he'd sing along to the melodies strummed on his dad's guitar. These intimate family moments ignited a spark within him, setting the stage for a lifelong dedication to music.

His early musical experiences weren't confined to the family kitchen. Throughout his school years, Scott explored and honed his vocal talents, joining choirs and participating in school plays. These experiences nurtured his natural talent and instilled in him a deep appreciation for the power of performance. The stage became his sanctuary, a place where he could express himself and connect with others through the universal language of music.

At the age of 13, Scott discovered another facet of his musical passion. Inspired by his father, he picked up a guitar and, through self-teaching and guidance from his dad, embarked on a journey of instrumental exploration. He quickly became proficient, mastering the instrument that would become an integral part of his musical identity. The guitar became an extension of his voice, allowing him to express his emotions and stories with a newfound depth and richness.

By the age of 19, Scott's musical aspirations had solidified. He joined his first band, taking on the roles of lead singer, rhythm guitarist, and keyboard player. This marked a significant step in his journey, providing him with invaluable experience in performing, collaborating with other musicians, and navigating the dynamics of a band. He was no longer just a boy singing along to his dad's guitar; he was a musician, crafting his own sound and sharing it with the world.

In 2004, Scott and his wife, Tara, made the pivotal move to Nashville, the heart of country music. This bold step was a testament to Scott's commitment to his craft and his unwavering belief in his musical potential. Nashville, with its vibrant music scene and countless opportunities, offered the perfect backdrop for Scott to pursue his dreams.

He quickly immersed himself in the city's thriving songwriting community, becoming a regular at renowned writers' rounds held at iconic venues like the Commodore Lounge, Douglas Corner, and the legendary Bluebird Café. These intimate performances provided him with a platform to share his original songs, connect with fellow musicians and songwriters, and hone his craft in the crucible of Nashville's competitive music scene. The experience was invaluable, pushing him to refine his songwriting, perfect his performance skills, and develop his unique musical voice.

The years that followed were a period of intense creativity and growth. Scott poured his heart and soul into his songwriting, crafting a collection of songs that reflected his experiences, emotions, and perspectives on life. This dedication culminated in the release of his debut CD, "Who Made the Road," in 2009. The album was a testament to his hard work and a significant milestone in his musical journey.

Scott continued to evolve as an artist, pushing his creative boundaries and exploring new musical territories. In 2015, he released his second CD, "Four On The Floor," on iTunes. This album showcased his growth as a songwriter and musician, demonstrating a maturity and depth that resonated with audiences.

The same year brought further recognition for Scott's talent. He received nominations for Song of the Year at the New Country Music Awards in Nashville for his poignant song, “The Love That Never Returns.” He was also nominated for Male Vocalist of the Year at the NCMAs and for Guitar Artist of the Year at the Indieville TV Awards. These nominations were a validation of his hard work and a testament to the impact of his music.

The accolades continued in 2016 when "Four On The Floor" won Country EP of the Year at the Indie Ville TV Awards in Nashville. This prestigious award solidified Scott's place in the Nashville music scene and recognized his contributions to the country music genre.

Today, Scott continues to perform around Nashville, sharing his music with audiences and captivating them with his heartfelt lyrics and captivating stage presence. He still harbors the dream of one day gracing the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, a pinnacle for any country music artist. His journey is a testament to the power of passion, the importance of perseverance, and the enduring magic of music. Scott Honaker's story is a reminder that dreams, when pursued with dedication and talent, can indeed come true.
