Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Scott Martin

Scott Martin has been a finalist at the Telluride Troubadour Contest, a winner at Songwriter Serenade, a finalist at the Wildflower Performing Songwriter contest, and twice a Kerrville New Folk Regional Finalist. Scott’s record “Missing” was released in 2018, featuring a song cycle about historical missing persons including Amelia Earhart, DB Cooper, Everett Ruess, Virginia Dare and Percy Fawcett.

Scott’s new record “Corner of the World” will be released March 11, 2022. It’s his second release after a 25+ year hiatus that began after a near-fatal climbing accident interrupted his blossoming music career when he was an up and coming singer-songwriter in the Los Angeles music scene.

As one of his collaborators, noted Nashville songwriter and instrumentalist Ed Berghoff, says: “Scott is a gifted finger style guitarist with a fabulous melodic sense and a truly amazing voice.”

Musicians from the US and Europe recorded virtually to add their parts to Martin’s tracks on that were recorded in Austin starting in March 2020, to which he then added piano, orchestration and other parts to create these perfectly embroidered songs. Martin co-produced the album with Michael Henchman of Vancouver, Washington, who played bass, electric guitar and other instruments on many of the songs.

Scott is a native of the Pacific Northwest, and has called Austin home for more than 20 years.
