More about Hilary Scott...
Hilary Scott performed solo in the Northwest, but about five years ago moved to Missouri where she formed a six-piece band called LaidDownEight. LaidDownEight was formed in August of 2000 when Bill Adams, one of her current guitarists, heard Hilary on KOPN 89.5, Columbia's community radio station. It was only Hilary's second day in town when Mike Columbo, a DJ on KOPN who had heard her two previous solo releases, invited her to the station for an interview and to play live with her percussionist, Michael Bielski. As soon as the interview was over, Bill Adams was waiting outside of the control room door ready to ask Hilary to jam with him sometime. From that point, members joined LD8 one by one as people who were active in the Columbia music scene decided to become a part of this new sound. Hilary and LaidDownEight began playing Columbia's musical venues frequently, and soon carved a niche for themselves. Hilary's style flourished as she began working with these musicians whose jam-band past expanded upon the songs she was writing. LaidDownEight, now known as The Hilary Scott Band, helped her record, "The Floating World," and it continues to perform with her around the Midwest.
Although Hilary Scott produced two albums prior to "The Floating World," this album was the first to be produced on a large scale. After "The Floating World" was released in May of 2002, it was picked up by music stores, and online sales from this website and CDBaby.com have helped make The Floating World and three more of Hilary Scott's CD's available to the international market. From Belgium to Brazil, DJ's, journalists and music lovers are discovering this new sound and playing a part in spreading it to others. In 2003, Scott signed with independent record label, Belltown Records. Her eagerly-awaited second commercial album, "Come In, Come In: Live", was released on October 24th, 2003. Produced live in the studio with an audience of ardent fans, "Come In, Come In: Live" is already a favorite among her followers. Hilary Scott has also re-released a mastered version of an earlier album, "Hypothermia", which is available on this website. "Hypothermia" showcases the artist as a solo performer (voice and acoustic guitar) of 10 of the artist's original works. One of the cuts on the "Hypothermia" album, "Fade to Black" spent several weeks at the top of the COMO Radio on-line music chart. Hilary Scott's enhanced EP, "Out of the Wilderness", created a buzz with fans and was distributed to college and independent radio stations in the Midwest and on both coasts. Scott's newest release, "Road To Hope" is a top-flight CD that showcases the very best of the Hilary Scott Band sound and is also being released to radio. In addition to the five albums produced in the studio, Scott has also released "The Best of Hilary Scott Live, Volume One", a compilation of 12 songs recorded live. |

A fan writes, "I remember the first time I saw and heard Hilary. It was on a local TV show in Columbia, Missouri and she sang Sting's "Fields of Gold". It moved me close to tears...and it was done with such authenticity, heart, and soul. I don't believe that I've ever seen anything that touched me so. It was incredible. And of this I am sure of: when it comes to expressing the depths of the human soul in music, very few singer/songwriters reached the depth of compassion as Hilary does. And that can't be learnt or taught. It's a gift. Her music overwhelms and captures your heart and soul."
