But here’s the good news: We’re getting back at live shows as fast as we can! We have shows already booked in the Detroit area, such as Hotel Royal Oak on June 4th, but we’re also performing at a Corktown, Detroit Festival on September 18th, with the Hi-Views and The Orbitsuns!

FEBRUARY 2020

New music coming soon!

Slowly coming back out of the “fog” of caring for my dad and watching over him in his final days, only a few weeks after the passing of his brother (and my uncle) Jack Scott. I was not sure how soon I would get back to making music but I guess I’m bouncing back sooner than I thought.

Working on two tracks, one for my solo music (Rio) and one for Rio & The Rockabilly Revival. Feeling really good about them both. Exciting music (and acting) possibilities for 2020 on the horizon, I want to make the most of them. Dad would want that too.
