With an extremely busy early spring behind me, I can now call myself Mrs. Hilary Scott Gennaro. I am settling into life with my new husband and musical partner, AJ. Hilary Scott and The New County Line are currently working on our first EP, which includes myself, AJ Gennaro, and Josh Schilling. I'm beyond excited for you all to hear the new songs and the new sounds. The changes in my life over the last couple of years seem to bring out new directions in my songwriting. I think you will find that the same elements that drew you to my music are still very much present. I hope you enjoy the evolution in its final product as much as I am enjoying the journey. We are in the median stages of the recording project, and we are working at the fabulous Sawhorse Studios in St. Louis. I had the pleasure of performing my tunes on the very same Baldwin baby grand piano on which Ike and Tina recorded their first hit. Soon it will be time for final touches, artwork ideas, concepts and all of the other elements that make the recording process one of the experiences I most look forward to in life.

This summer we have a slew of shows in the Missouri area, even a reunion with a couple members of The Hilary Scott Band coming up this weekend at Cooper's Landing. Current show dates will be listed below, and are always available on my website, so please come back and visit often as things change all the time! Be looking for us to release our EP in the fall!
