Scott has a prestigious track record, including selling out several shows at the famous Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis. She and her band also opened for Bon Jovi, which she listed as her biggest musical accomplishment.

Although she is gaining national acclaim, she said that she still enjoys making personal connections with her fans.

“I’ve had people send me emails that they were listening to my album on their way to have their first baby. Being a part of the important moments in people’s lives, I think, is the coolest thing,” she said.

Scott’s band features Kevin Bowe on guitar, Peter Anderson on drums, Steve Price on bass and James Tyler O’Neill on keyboards.
