LAY IT ON ME

DYLAN SCOTT 

Dylan Scott is wrappin the country music world up with his southern boy charm in his new single Lay It On Me. The song was penned by Scott, himself, and fellow country songwriter Josh Kerr and showcases all the best aspects of country music. With lines about lovin on a backroad, the lyrics speak for themselves.

Scott’s soulful voice and southern lines rattle listeners to the core.

I’m willing to bet the song gives you goosebumps. That’s what happens when you don’t just listen to a song, but instead, you live the lyrics.

Dylan Scott has a way of makin us wanna take the long way home.

So take a peek. Watch and be amazed.

Hop on out of your shotgun seat and feel what I’m feelin.

Full Name: 

Rose Falcon

Hometown/currently live:

 Nashville, TN

What made you want to start writing /singing songs?

My father is a singer/songwriter so I grew up with music in the house all of the time. I started writing poetry around the age of 12, which evolved in to songwriting. I signed with Columbia Records at 14.

Do you play any instruments? 

Guitar 

Did you teach yourself?

Yeah, I've had a few lessons along the way, but I mostly just messed with it myself until I could play enough to write. 

Who are your biggest musical inspirations? 

Tom Petty, Patty Griffin, Lucia Wiliams, Loretta Lynn, Patty Loveless and of course my dad, Billy Falcon.

Where do you get inspiration to write your songs?

From my reality. I love true stories. If I get in a bind and can't find anything worth writing about in my life, I will read or watch a movie for inspiration. 

Favorite songs you have written/recorded?

Like Crazy and Give In to Me are my favorites I have released, but I always love the newer songs best. I can't wait to share my new stuff!

What moment in your music career is your favorite so far?

Having my first number one song with "Friday Night" was pretty awesome. 

Finish this sentence…if I could sing a song with anyone I would choose______.

My husband.

If I could play any venue I would choose____.

There is a place called The Mountain Winery in Saratoga, CA that I'm dying to play at. It looks so beautiful! 

If I wasn"t a singer/songwriter I would be…

I'm afraid of ______.

Chipping my teeth. Weird I know!

I never get tired of_______.

Can we expect any new music coming in the future? 

Absolutely! I'm still writing for my next release, but I would say it's coming in 2015 for sure.

Will you continue to tour with your husband? You were recently in Knoxville together and everyone loved it!

Awwww thanks! Yes, as much as my schedule allows. 

Okay, I always ask people to tell me one thing about themselves that is random or strange that most people don"t know

ARTIST INTERVIEW: DYLAN SCOTT

He's a little bit of soul and rock n' roll. He's a little bit of hip-hop and R&B. But most of all, he's a lot country. Dylan Scott is my definition of "new country." He has something that sounds familiar but sometimes I truly believe he is in a category completely on his own. 

Dylan is the guy who has a "typical country song" in Makin' This Boy Go Crazy. Dylan is the guy who is testing the waters with his new single Mmm Mmm Mmm on the radios now. Dylan is the guy who gets on stage and performs every single show with energy that most artists save for big locations like Madison Square Garden or Bridgestone Arena. Dylan is the guy who has a voice so smooth that when he breaks out a little R&B slow jam we all melt. Dylan is the guy who does it all while showing the world how much he loves his job.

I fell in love with his music about two years ago. I'm not really sure how I found his music but I sure am glad that I did. I remember being SO excited to hear Makin' This Boy Go Crazy on the radio for the first time. For months all I did was annoy people about buying his single and his EP. I know they thought I was crazy at the time but they eventually thanked me for introducing them to his music. 

Now fast forward nearly two years later and I'm jamming in my car to single number two: Mmm Mmm Mmm. Traveling 645 miles across the United States to see this guy jump around onstage, perform for a bunch of people eating peaches, and enjoy every second of his career. It's one thing to sing for a living. It's something totally different to show everyone in the crowd just how much it means to you. Watching Dylan on stage is truly magical. He makes you feel like you are the only person at his show and he's thankful. He draws you in with his fun personality and kind heart. 

If you love your job, you'll never have to work a day in your life. 
DYLAN SCOTT LOVES HIS JOB.

I've seen Dylan six times. I think. I've probably seen him a few more times that have slipped my mind. All I know is I've seen him A LOT! The first time being EXACTLY 62 weeks ago. [I stalked my Instagram for confirmation] 
Whiskey Bent || Nashville, TN
Mulligans || Knoxville, TN
Dave & Busters || Nashville, TN
Tin Roof || Birmingham, AL
CMA Fest || Nashville, TN
Ruston Peach Festival || Ruston, LA
Ps…Let's not even talk about how many concert clips I've watched on Youtube. It's been hours of me glued to my Macbook. 

He's been in East Tennessee and I've seen him in my town. I've traveled the 4+ hour drive to Nashville on multiple occasions. I've traveled to Birmingham on a whim just hours before the show because Dylan talked me into coming. Oh and one time recently I traveled on three planes. Two down, one back. Oh and did I mention my four hour layover in Atlanta and the humid, nasty, hot, weather Louisiana is made up of? Yeah, he's so good at every show, no matter the difficulty I face and the disasters that occur, I would do it again in a heartbeat. HE'S THAT GOOD PEOPLE.

SO WITHOUT FURTHER INTRODUCTION…
MEET THE GUY WHO MADE ME TRAVEL 650 MILES TO SEE HIM.
MEET THE GUY WHO MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH HIS MUSIC.
MEET THE GUY I CALL MY FAVORITE.
DYLAN SCOTT

Age 

23- Born 10/22/1990...and I was a fat baby!!! 

Hometown/currently live

Born and raised in a little place called Beekman, LA. Seriously no stop light, 20 min from the nearest anything, and thats the way I liked it.  I could literally jump on my four wheeler or dirt bike and ride all day and never see anyone. Some call it boring, I call it HOME.   I currently live in Nashville,Tn.

When did you start singing? 

I have video of me singing on my dad's lap at 2yrs old while he played I guitar I was singing "I like my women on the trashy side" and "Chatahoochie"!  Lol 

What made you want to start singing? 

My dad was in the business. He quit when I was born but I always saw pictures of him and heard stories and listened to him.  I wanted to be my dad growing up, and ending up growing to have a passion for not only country music, but MUSIC!   

What instruments do you play? Did you teach yourself? 

I play guitar, and get by on piano.  I was 4 when I started playing piano, and just play by ear. My dad taught me fundamentals and I took it from there.  Same way with guitar at age 12.  My younger brother Logan(21) took it further on guitar and is now the lead guitar player of my band. 

Who are your biggest musical inspirations? 

Besides my dad, Keith Whitley was my role model growing up. Such a smooth, emotional voice. He's like Elvis to me. 

Do you write your own music? 

I do, I haven't written my whole life.  Honestly didn't get big into it until I moved to Nashville. I always wanted to just get on stage and sing, but grew to have a huge passion for writing once I moved to TN.  It's one of my favorite things to do besides perform now. 

Where do you get inspiration to write your songs? 

It comes in different forms.  I dont like to write just to write. Nothing worse than showing to a write and staring at another writer for hours. WASTE OF TIME!  I like to have something hit me, call my buddies up and say, "I got an idea"...and then we write it.   

What moment in your music career is your favorite so far? 

ALL OF IT!  Not a day goes by that I don't realize how blessed I am to not only be living in Nashville, but living the dream so many dream of as a kid.  I get to play music every night to a crowd who sings songs back to me and I get to meet awesome people who love music.  

Favorite person you've opened for/played with? 

Neal McCoy is one the realest, talented performers I've ever had the chance to open for.  

Where do you see yourself in a year?  

You never know in this business, I'm just gonna take it day by day and enjoy what's happening.       

5 years? 

Hopefully still performing on a hot summer night in front of a few thousand people having the time of our lives!  

Okay, I always ask people to tell me one thing about themselves that is random or  strange that most people don't know! ​ 

Well, I bite my nails! I hate it, I won't to stop, but I don't even realIze I do it. And I have an uncontrollable love for QUESO, or any cheese dip for that matter! Heck I love cheese! 

 If I could play at any location I would choose ______. 

A wide open field somewhere with a bonfire and just some good ol people who like country music and having fun! 

 If I wasn't a singer I would be _______. 

Never thought about, maybe a personal trainer. I just love the gym and talking with people about working out. 

I'm afraid of_____.

WOMEN!!  Haha...no, dogs! Big dogs that bark!  I like friendly dogs though. Lol. 

If I gave you a plane ticket to go anywhere in the world where would you go? 

Alaska!  I want to go hunting in there so bad!! AND, I wanna see how it stays dark there for long periods of time or light for long periods of time.   

I never get tired of ________.  

Eating! I'm a Louisiana boy, so we know about good food, and how to cook good food!  I love to eat! Matter of fact, I'm eating pizza right now as I answer these questions! Haha

ARTIST INTERVIEW: LOGAN BRILL

So a few weeks ago at the Tennessee Theatre a super talented singer/songwriter who grew up near my hometown in Knoxville, TN opened for country superstar Josh Turner. Her name? Logan Brill. After going home and finding her music on Soundcloud I knew I had to reach out to her for an interview. I was lucky enough to do a phone interview with her a few days after the big show! 

EVERYONE MEET MY NEW FRIEND AND FELLOW EAST TENNESSEAN

LOGAN BRILL

Full Name

Katherine Logan Brill

Age

23

Hometown/currently live

Grew up in Knoxville; Moved to Nashville a little over 5 years ago. 

Do you play any instruments? Did you teach yourself?

Guitar; "I guess I taught myself but guided by my dad who played guitar as a hobby.  He had a farm out in Morgan County, Tennessee which is pretty mush in the middle of nowhere. When I would go out there on weekends there was no TV, no neighbors, or anything. I kinda just picked it up. I just really enjoyed going on weekends and sitting on the front porch and pick around at it. My dad started teaching me little chords. He kind of guided me, I guess, as far as learning more actual chords and stuff." 

Who are your biggest musical inspirations?

"This is a hard one for me. I feel like they are all over the board. I grew up listening to a lot of jazz and blues stuff (Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, Buddy Guy). I was also inspired by a lot of the music that my parents grew up listening to in the 70's. I loved The Eagles and Emmylou Harris. It was more on the country side of things. Now it kind of changes every week really. I feel like recently it's been Patty Griffin and Bonnie Raitt pretty consistently." 

Where do you get inspiration to write your songs?

"Yes, I do write. A lot of the stuff on the album I borrowed from other songwriters. Whenever I'm in town I write a couple times per week either by myself or with other songwriters in Nashville. I enjoy it."

What moment in your music career is your favorite so far?

"I feel like there's been a lot of really awesome moments. Honestly one of them for me was this past show at the Tennessee Theatre with Josh Turner. It was great to play in my hometown. Some of my personal favorite shows I've been to were at the Tennessee Theatre. Being able to go out and stand on that same stage my songs to friends and family that I haven't seen in a long time. People were coming out of the woodworks! I saw my preschool teacher, my fourth grade teacher, old friends from high school, friends, and family. It was just cool to come back." 

Finish this sentence…if I could sing a duet with anyone I would choose______. 

"Probably Bonnie Raitt She's been such an inspiration to me. Especially with her blues influence but also does the Americana Country stuff from time to time."

Finish this sentence…if I could sing at any location I would choose______. 

"Honestly probably Red Rocks. Or the Ryman. That's like the top in Nashville. It's a tie for me. I would really like to play both. Red Rocks has such a reputation for being such a cool venue. I feel like there and the Ryman are tied for me."

Where do you see yourself in a year or five years?

"Continuing to move forward with my career. And just continuing to play more headlining shows. It's nice to have a full hour and half to play my own stuff. Hopefully I'll be able to be touring more and continuing to move onward and upward!"

If I wasn't a singer I would be… 

"Well there are a few things I always put in the back of my mind as a plan B. I actually got my degree in French from Belmont. Because I thought if nothing else I could be a teach it or be a translator. I probably would do that. Maybe a French teacher. I love kids. Who knows!"

Okay, I always ask people to tell me one thing about themselves that is random or strange that most people don't know! 

"I'm a vegetarian, is that weird? I don't eat meat. I've actually been a vegetarian since I was 12. So that's a fun fact. Not that it's fun, but it's a fact!"
