Saturday, April 6, 8 p.m. on witf's Center Stage
Award-winning singer/songwriter Darrell Scott performed in a Susquehanna Folk Music Society concert in Septermber of 2012.
You can hear the concert on witf's Center Stage Saturday evening, April 6, starting at 8 on witf 89.5 and 93.3.The concert launches a new, expanded version of Center Stage, with classical concerts on Sunday evenings and folk, rock, jazz and indie music on Saturday evenings.
Included in the concert is a Center Stage Spotlight feature on the local group Voxology, who opened for the live SFMS concert featuring Darrell Scott.
Darrell Scott grew up in Kentucky, as part of a family country band led by his father Wayne Scott. His recent album, Long Road Home, pays tribute to those country roots and includes a duet with his father. Wayne Scott died in 2011 in an automobile accident. The event led Darrell Scott to write these words at the time:
"this morning"
my father died this morning...
car accident
his first his last
helicoptered to trauma center
his end begun
& ended
all
in 4 hours
eyewitnesses say he ran
a red light
in front of a semi
impact
and the car drove half
a mile before resting inside
a wendy's on 25E
corbin, knox county,
kentucky
march 2, 1934 to this morning,
this morning,
november 18, 2011
i feel certain
he was listening
to music

Brilliant! What a great show! Thanks so much for sharing Darrell Scott, the Susquehanna Folk Music Society and Voxology with a wider audience. I was transported right back to my seat in the audience watching Darrell Scott weave his magic for all of us there. Congratulations on the new expanded format. Bravo!
