About Me |
|
| A singer-songwriter who plays piano, guitar, and violin, Hilary weaves lyrical and musical tapestries with a raw emotional edge. Jeff Dame of Northeast In-Tune has this to say 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.'Born in Washington State, Hilary started her solo performance career in Seattle, but moved to Columbia, Missouri in 2000, where she formed The Hilary Scott Band. She and her band tour the midwest and beyond, playing in various types of venues and opening for artists such as Beth Orton, Jonatha Brooke, Little Feat, and recently Tanya Tucker at the Festival at Sandpoint in Idaho.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 says: "[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. John Kulidas of WCSU (Chicago State University) says: "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!" Over the past two years Hilary has continued to work with Wilder, recently signing a co-writing and publishing deal. Hilary has also 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. Meanwhile, the Hilary Scott Band has continued to tour and record, recently releasing 'Road to Hope,' Hilary's 5th release on Belltown Records, an independent label that signed her in 2003. Other titles include: Hypothermia, The Floating World, and Come In, Come In: LIVE."
