Hilary Scott tours nationally and internationally as a singer-songwriter, pianist, guitarist, and violinist. Hilary weaves lyrical and musical tapestries with a raw emotional edge. Jeff Dame of Northeast In-Tune has said this about Hilary and her music: "Hilary has the potential to be as big as the likes of Alanis Morisette, Tori Amos, or Sheryl Crow. Listen to her now and you can 'I've been in from the beginning.'
Hilary started her solo performance career in Seattle in 1999, but moved to Columbia, Missouri in 2000, where she formed The Hilary Scott Band. She and her band have toured the midwest and beyond, opening for artists such as Beth Orton, Jonatha Brooke, Little Feat, and Tanya Tucker. Hilary's music is comfortably chameleon-like, inspired by a fresh and unique mix of blues, folk, rock, classical, and country. Comparisons offered when people speak of Hilary's sound range from Joan Baez to Billie Holiday. This delicious ambiguity might result from Hilary's various and sundry influences, which include Led Zeppelin, Peter Gabriel, Sarah McLachlan and Nick Drake. Regardless of this mix of inspirations, Hilary's sound remains truly her own. Hannah Vogel of the Sandpoint Reader writes: "[Hilary] is uniquely herself, in her music and onstage. From coffee shops, to blues houses and festivals, wherever she goes, she and her music are genuine. It's not often you meet a musician you might also like to have as a best friend."
In 2004, Hilary began working with Nashville producer Matthew Wilder to help carry her songs into the radio realm, releasing an EP entitled, 'Out of the Wilderness.' These songs have been well-received by both fans and radio. After receiving a copy of ‘Out of the Wilderness’, John Kulidas of WCSU (Chicago State University) said: "Hilary's in our rotation and we're definitely looking at her as an up-and-comer. Just the other day one of my colleagues was asking me, 'where are all the Carol Kings nowadays'? Well....here you go!"
After signing a publishing deal with Matthew Wilder in 2005, Hilary had the opportunity to write with 'Nashville royalty' such as John Goodwin and Angela Kaset, collaborating on songs that dip into different genres such as dance/techno, and pop. She is currently collaborating on a project with legendary songwriter, Keith Colley.
In 2007, Hilary moved back to her native Washington State. Discovered on My Space by agent Vanessa Feltner of Premier Talent International, Hilary began extended tours overseas and has so far performed in Vietnam and Korea. Through PTI, Hilary will continue to balance overseas performance with touring in the US, and travels to the Midwest to perform with the Hilary Scott Band several times a year. Hilary also collaborates with other artists, such as the D'Alessio trio in Italy, and Wes Wingate of Hometone Records in Missouri.
Hilary is signed to the independent label Belltown Records, and just released her 7th album, entitled Consonance, which is a collaboration with Wes Wingate, and a joint venture between Belltown Records and Hometone Records. Other Hilary Scott CDs include: Hypothermia, The Floating World, and Come In, Come In: LIVE, Out of the Wilderness, Road to Hope, and The Best of Hilary Scott Live Volume 1.

What more can you say? I think, you’ve said enough for the day... And maybe more... than needed to be said, that’s for sure...
You must learn... to speak in turn... or face the consequence... of the bridges that you may burn...
And even then... slow down, pause... or even put it off for another day… this will give you more time... to measure what you want to say...
Too often, words are spoken... and vital threads of relationship broken... words said in haste... can always be traced.. Back to impatience or fear... Wait another day... then say what you got to say... And say it loud...say it clear... For all to hear...
Words are like bullets… Once fired cannot be recalled or retracted... And they always hit the target... The bullet is rarely diffracted...
So be careful with the gun... Or you'll be asking ...yourself... "Fool, look what you have done?"…
Words are all we have... they can enrich your life. Or destroy... So take your time...measure what you say... then sit back and enjoy...
the planting and the harvest... rich crops... Or face the consequences of seeing... your entire Blossoms drop... to the ground.... and die... If your harvest is nurtured on lies...
So speak the truth. Stand up. Be brave... Remember each soul only has one grave...
Liars die many deaths... as they lie often under their breath... The truth always gets the final applause... ..BECAUSE....
All hearts seek the true... Let your love, find their true in you
I have seen Autumn... make its kill.. With total detachment... and ruthless chill...
Unconcerned and totally Detached... This autumn could never be matched.... Withered leaves. Crispy dry... Even the tears are ice in the eye...
Heavy shoulders...Heavy hearts... Many a soul, just torn apart... The cold air chills the bone... Autumn is a Season of ALL ALONE...
Each petal, each flower and each tree... Comes to terms with how lonely autumn can be... As it seeks...sparing none... Ahhhh...it even chills the SUN.
I have frozen ponds and lakes... Autumn rarely makes a mistake... There are no Robins here today.. It’s flown them away... Ahhh..Dare the soul that stays...
I am the chosen few... I have YOU....
Ahhhh..How you warm me... to the core... No autumn can reach that shore... It too will be warmed ... if knocks on your door...
You are A SUN rare... ALL who enter your World... Are summered there... Ahhhh...your sunshine is filled with care... Ahhhh..How openly. You share...
Dear Life....warm me... take this autumn and the winter... and unstorm me...
Ahhhhh...Dear Warm ....Life.. ..Me......
YOU are a Woman of Sunshine........Wife.. ..Me.....
The Autumn patiently awaits to make its kill.. Without your Body warm. I

Hilary! I know your busy, but hope you get to take time to smell the roses... or coffee whatever you like. lol Your such a great talent...thanks for sharing it with the world. :)Tracy
Look at my face.. And tell me, what do you see?... Am I really... All that you thought I would be....
Put your hand on your heart... Tell me no lies... What did you see?.... In my eyes?...
Put your hand on your soul... and swear.... What you thought was in my heart... you found it there...
Put your life in the Balance... and make your biggest bet... If YOU ARE MY, DEBTOR... I OWE YOU A DEBT.
"I will stay open.. .. I will not judge or prejudge you, today... My heart tells me... there will be many other days.... And even then...I wish to reserve my right... to declare my judgements are rarely right... So permit me to just love you dearly... to my final breath... And I pray, that I don't judge you.. On the day of my, death.... I would rather say...I have loved a soul.. Kind... And which I sadly ... leave behind...
And request kindly, that no heart pure... pass hasty judgements as sure... On my dear heart, my dear friend... Ahhhhh..No judgements to the end. We are not Judges....only hearts and souls... Let God be the sole Judge, on the dues and tolls..
So often I have judged.. So often I have been wrong... We pretend to listen to the music... And judge every song... Just let it BE... Judgemental free
