Scott
Wilburn is an artist and musician living in the wilds of northern Idaho,
surrounded by mountains and forests. Born in the fifties, having come
of age during the turbulent sixties, and grown to adulthood in the seventies,
he began recording in the eighties, produced his first CDs in the nineties,
and is still writing and recording into the second decade of the new millennium.
His song writing reflects a wide variety of influences, with bits of electric
blues, piano ballads, acoustic songs, heavy metal riffs, synth pop, and
country rock jams all rolled into an improbable mix that defies most attempts
at categorization. A veritable one-man band, Scott writes the music &
lyrics and plays most of the instruments on most of his songs, with cameo
appearances by his many talented friends. His goal is that "no two
songs sound alike".
Scott has just put the finishing touches on his newest solo CD, "Eclectic".
Loaded with the kind of diverse songs Scott is known for, this CD lives
up to its title. "Eclectic," is defined as "not following
any one system... but selecting and using what are considered the best
elements of all systems." In this case, the CD reflects Scott's many
and varied musical influences. The one contiguous thread running through
all the songs is Scott's high level of musical skill and creativity. The
listener is treated to such a variety of musical styles that every new
song is a surprising change of direction.
A true renaissance man, Scott is also an artist and craftsman. As an artist,
he works in a variety of media, both digital and conventional. As a craftsman,
he has been building and marketing custom-built guitars for the past decade.
