  • Bio

    ...... .... ....Get my collage.. or ..Create your own.... Scott Kirby spent most of the eighties working as a political consultant in his native state of New Hampshire, as well as playing a few solo gigs on the weekends. In 1988, he left his job, packed his guitar, cashed in his last three paychecks and headed for the Florida Keys, to take a break from the real world and New England's bitter winters. After living in Key West for 15 years, Scott finds himself splitting his time between New Hampshire, Key West and the road. When back in Key West, Scott occasionally performs at The Hog's Breath Saloon, The Pier House, and occasionally at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville Café. He has also been a regular participant in The Key West Songwriters' Festival, where he has shared the stage with some of America's finest songwriters, such as, Mac McAnally, Keith Sykes, Gretchen Peters, Chuck Gannon, Pat Alger, Chuck Jones and Stephanie Smith, to name a few. Scott was a recent finalist in the South Florida Folk Festival songwriting competition and the lyrics from one of his songs was featured by renowned author Marie Claire Blais, in her book entitled, Notes from North America, A Writer's Passage. ..While on the road, Scott can be found anywhere from the most intimate bar or folk club, to venues such as The Capitol Center for the Arts, in his home state of New Hampshire. In 1997, he was invited to perform at the Governor's Inaugural Concert with Carole King, Livingston Taylor and Tommy Makem, and returned later that year to play at a benefit where he was joined by friends: the Peter Mayer Group and Michael Utley and Robert Greenidge in Club Trini. The triple-act show, billed as IslandFest, was so well received, that the show has traveled to a number of venues around the country, the most recent being the Westbury Music Fair in Long Island, New York. Jimmy Buffett's online radio station, Radio Margaritaville, has broadcast a number of the IslandFest shows live, in addition to including much of Scott's material in their regular programming. Scott released his first CD of original music in 1993, entitled Too Damn Yankee, followed by his second recording, Grand Bar Schemes, in January 1997. Walkin on Thin Ice, was released on the Little Flock Music label, in October 1999, as well as Scott's 2003 release, 4 Good Dogs. Look for Scott's newest CD "A Night on the Beach" released in August 2007.

  • Influences

    A fingerstyle guitarist and singer/songwriter, Kirby’s musical style weaves from pop, to acoustic rock, to what he refers to as “beach folk.” His lyrics are often storytelling in nature, much in the vein of Steve Goodman or Jerry Jeff Walker, and reflect the humor of someone who fled traditional New England for the laid back and zany lifestyle of America’s southernmost island town. A reviewer from The Musician’s Trade Journal writes, “Kirby’s a storyteller. Sometimes sentimental, sometimes hilarious, but all with insight, depth and wisdom … you can’t help but like this guy’s music.” Frank Quatrone, of Ticket Magazine, writes, “His writing can be engagingly literate to elegantly simple … the whole place was laughing and singing along to his sometimes outrageous lyrics.”
