Scott Southworth

One of Scott's albums featuring some humorous songs about life.

At first glance, Scott Southworth is a cross between a country singer and a class clown. I mean that in a good way. His music is humorous and tells a story. I mean what would you expect from someone who has an album called “Only Dead Fish Go With the Flow”? (his next album set for release June 28th). But it seems like his earlier albums may have been a little more serious, more traditional, more Honky Tonk.

Originally from the great Pacific Northwest, Flaming Tortuga Records Artist Scott Southworth is an award winning Nashville based performing singer/songwriter.

When not touring the U.S. or Europe, Scott can be found at one of Nashville's hot spots or performing house concerts, at fairs and songwriting competitions.
