Scott Tweedie
is a versatile singer-songwriter. His warm voice and mellow,
heartfelt songwriting style have received many respectful
comparisons to Cat Stevens, Neil Young,and Nick Drake. He colors his
soundscapes with many instruments, not the least being his
trumpet.Scott, playing trumpet for The Others and The Karma Sutra
Band, opened for Karl Denson's Tiny Universe and The North
Mississippi All-Stars at Brookhaven
Amphitheater on Long Island.
Scott's voice and trumpet
playing are featured on the most recent album by Slang, "More Talk
About Tonight," a masterpiece of all-star collaboration including
David Schools (Widespread Panic), Matt Abts(Gov't Mule), DJ Logic,
Lori Carson(Golden Palominos), and the album's producer/engineer
Layng Martine III(who has worked with Bill Laswell extensively).
Scott's muted trumpet playing is also featured on
Lori Carson's 2004 release, "The Finest
Thing."
Another
outstanding project Scott is a part of is Centauri System, an all
instrumental duo co-produced with Brandon
Burdon.
Centauri
System highlights Scott's trumpet and multi-instrumental performance
with music that..."brought tears to his
mother's eyes." Starship Stereo Exponential, another cohesive duo co-produced with Jay Dadarria, has enough
material for a full length album to be released. Their mystical
sound has already touched the hearts of
many.
Scott has
been honored with Raven Hawk Production's prestigious Silver Arrow
Award for outstanding achievement in music for 2003 and
2004.
Several
of Scott's songs have received primetime radio play on
Long
Island's Stony Brook radio station 90.1 WUSB.
Anyone who has heard his music knows it has the potential to reach
far and wide.
Scott
recently received an honorable mention in the ISSA Songwriting
Competition With styles ranging from
meditative instrumentals to touching folk ballads to eclectic
spirit-filled journeys,there is a continuum in his music which
reaches the souls of his listeners and leaves them feeling calm,
peaceful, and hopeful. Scott weaves a sympathetic vibration with
music that is much needed in today's world. "Scott's voice is
soulful and resonant." "Whatever instrument he chooses--guitar, muted trumpet,
Native American flute, harmonica--he seems to journey deep within
himself, which invites listeners to do
the same.
What makes
Tweedie unique is the intimacy of his performance...In Tweedie's
music the world seems vast and at the same time unified, as old as
creation, yet constantly
reborn."
