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.

I don't know what you are...? The dark night or the shinning star...? At first I found it quite confusing... But now....Mmmm...Amusing...
To my surprise... It took me long time to realise... that you are both...
the night and the stars... the stars and the night... you are the height and depth.... Ahhhh... total depth and all heights...
You are the dark night... when you kiss me softly on my lips and face... Ahhhh...how your dark eyes paint my life with light... Ahhhh...I am soaring to the highest height... Wrapped in your night...
You are also a star... In how you shine far... lighting up my world...leaving no empty spaces... ahhhh...How you shine from. Into all lonely places... leaving no traces... taking away all losing cards...leaving only aces..
Ahhhh...how your light heals me ... as it feels me... gently wrapping all the scars... stitching and reviving with your starlight...all my burnt out stars Ahhhh...how you take me far...
Did you know that I have been searching for you a long time? All my tears have become vintage wine.... There are parts of me...Whole of me... want to journey into you... with parts of me...and soul of me ... creating our own music and rhythm... Let’s create all our tomorrows...with them... I have waited a long time... travelled a million lives... yearning for you... is how my soul survives... I did not find my soul mate... Just Eternity of wives...
In this lifetime ...I am sure... I will find the door... My soul searches no more... Standing on your shore...
I feel that you are both ...the stars and the night... Your eyes are my candlelight... But you also could be ....the night and the stars... in the way the music from your body...leaves poetry on my scars... I can feel again... Ahhhh Dea
We have all made errors... some innocently...some with unkind intention... Some big... some small... yes, we have made errors... And I am part of those ALL.
Seek not answers from me... how can I guide a vessel? Which I may have lost in the sea... And you insist the Captain should once again be me...
I am as guilty as guilty as they come... I am part of that some, sum.
I will accept the challenge... only if you pray... "Test the vessel and the Captain all you like, Dear Life... But always show them the way..."
Ahhhh....the Northern breeze is whispering in my ear... "Steer with vision and courage Dear Soul... We will Compass the uncharted waters... Dear Soul....listen....can you hear?"
Ahhhh...the ship I once lost... is waiting for the Captain to once again steer... the route to my destined port... is once again clear.. biri
