Scott Murray Musician from the Shenandoah Valley

Permalink   

 

Scott Christopher Murray moved to Nashville in the early 1990's. While there, he opened for Emmylou Harris, Bruan Bowers, Goose Creek Symphony, and Suzy Bogguss. He also shared the stage with Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, Shelby Lynn, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Kathy Mattea, and Henry Gross. Scott was named Grand Prize winner at the Gumtree Folk Festival and was a regular performer at Townes Van Zandt's bar in Nashville.

Before leaving Nashville and returning home to Virginia, Scott wrote and produced the songs on his second album, "Short Stories." Two of these songs were selected by Virginia-based DCD Records in 1998 to appear on a compilation of Shenandoah artists. Shortly after the release of this compilation, "In the Shadow of the Blue Ridge," the Canadian Games Commission and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation accepted one song for consideration for the 1999 Pan American Games. The song, "Manitoba, " was written by Canadian Dean Sayln and sung by Scott Christopher Murray.

Ive started writing some blues tunes. And in the middle of the show Ill drop one of those in. And its so neat because it takes the audience so out of the realm of where they are, and then I put them back in there again. Its such a journey to take them on. It starts the moment I open my mouth, I begin telling the story. Its a way of weaving magic, so by the time you get to the song, you havent told them the whole story. Its like, now lets step into this. So you kind of set the stage, and while the whole journey flows together, each song becomes its own presentation. - Scott Murray, Shenandoah Valley

Scott Murray started writing songs when he was sixteen. You know, that broken heart that causes everyone to write something down. But rhythm alone sometimes is the inspiration for his songwriting. Ill be goofing around on the guitar and think, I like that, and take that rhythm and build a song around it. Sometimes an idea comes for me in a sentence. Ive got this song with the line, I never heard the call to arms and now the generals gone. Its an acapella Civil War tune. Ive got one on my new album with the line, All my faith is gone, my church is just a building now. Its just those lines that grab you. These huge long sentences will come to me, and then Ill craft a tune around the sentence. - Scott Murray

I think they need to re-shoot the video with the camera moving and work on the sound and the lighting.

Scott Murray Musician from the Shenandoah Valley

 

Scott grew up in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, absorbing its rich story-telling tradition and Appalachian music legacy. His first album "The Old Man Dreams," a collection of original material, was a regional success. Scott moved to Nashville in the early 1990's.

A masterpiece of thoughtful and emotion-packed stories for the ear. Take this with you on your way to your easy chair on a Friday night with a good bottle of wine and a close friend. Don't forget to dim the lights because you won't want anything to distract you from the thought-provoking lyrics and incredibly mellow sounds Scott sends your way. This is a must-have for any CD library. The album is unforgettable.
