Hello from Hilary Scott
Hilary Scott   Hilary performing for radio

Once a new year starts, it seems to get rolling more quickly than I can keep up with. I've already got gigs lined up until the end of July, which is incredibly gratifying, and I'm working on a couple of tours through the year. I'm also really happy to have the opportunity to help out the victims of the tragedy in Haiti, performing at a benefit at the Blue Note in Columbia for the cause.

I'm also excited that in a week I will have the chance to jump back into the studio - even if just to record a few new tunes so that I can use the recordings for venue submissions. The studio is one of my favorite places to be, and many people at shows have been asking for recordings of new songs. You may still have to wait a while to purchase actual album copies of the new tunes, but once the demos are recorded I bet we could be persuaded to post them on the fan site or My Space! June is approaching quickly, and I'll be heading back to Italy for the finals in the Festival Degli Autori international songwriting/performance competition.

I think 2010 will prove to be a great year!

Hilary recently shared the stage with heavy-hitting blues and traditional dobro players at Iron Barley in Saint Louis for the Fourth Annual Tom Hall Guitar Benefit. Hilary was joined on stage by AJ Gennaro on percussion and Rob Lampe on dobro. Hilary will have her own show at the Iron Barley on Saturday, February 27th.

Hilary will appear on Fred Friction's radio show on St. Louis' KDHX 88.1 FM St. Louis for a live performance and interview on Thursday, February 25th, sometime between 10am and noon.

Fred Friction, who has the venue "Fred's Six Foot Under" in Iron Barley, said this about Hilary: "...a newly discovered talent with the chops to compete alongside Patty Griffin or Lucinda Williams."<br>

On Thursday, February 11th, Hilary Scott and several members of the Hilary Scott Band will perform at the Blue Note Benefit for Haiti concert. Hilary will share the bill with Noah Earle, the Paperclips, Casey Reeves and other great local acts. The show is $10 and all proceeds go to the cause.

In June, Hilary will head to Rome, Italy to finish recording vocals on her song And Just which is currently being produced by legendary Italian producer Euro Ferrari. She will at that time also record the song, Bring Back My Smile which is a collaborative effort with Italian songwriter Maurizio Opinato. Further, Hilary hopes to record two songs for Giuseppe D'Alessio's upcoming bass/vocal album. Hilary toured Italy for three months in 2007 with the D'Alessio trio and is excited at the prospect of appearing on their album. On June 19th, 20th and 21st, Hilary will attend the finals of the Festival Degli Autori international songwriting/performance competition at the Casino di Sanremo. At that time she will perform in front of industry professionals including label reps, producers, and fellow musicians, from Europe and beyond.

As spring approaches, Hilary starts thinking about WINE! Booking has begun at several Missouri wineries, and the full list of where and when Hilary will be performing will be posted on her website as soon as all details are available.

In March, Hilary heads back to the northwest and will perform on Friday, March 19th at the Water Wheel in Seattle, and will be joined on bass by Will Lanni of Stay Tuned. Driving her vehicle back down through the mountains, Hilary hopes to stop and play shows in the Colorado area on her way to Missouri, as well.

Several small tours are in the process of being planned, hopefully taking Hilary to the south, northern midwest, and southwest before the year is through. Hilary is also submitting to the Canada House Concerts Series, which would provide her with the opportunity to travel for two weeks through Canada performing intimate shows in people's homes on a well-planned and popular route for true music fans, and which has been frequented by many well-known musical acts.

In July, The Hilary Scott Band will perform at the Hannibal festival Music Under the Stars, in Mark Twain's home town.

This Thursday, February 11th, Hilary Scott, Rob Lampe, and Bill Adams will perform at the Blue Note in Columbia as part of a benefit concert for Haiti. Taking the stage from 9:35-10:20pm, they share the bill with Noah Earle, Casey Reeves, and other great local acts. $10/door, all proceeds to the cause.
