Scott's webpage: https://www.scottseanwhite.com/home 

From Scott White: 

I make my home in the small town of Poetry, TX, and split my time between there and Nashville as a staff songwriter for a publishing company. In between writing trips, I play house concerts and listening rooms all over the country, touring 120-150 dates a year. My shows are half story-telling because I have a lot of stories to tell :-) I don't tell you what the song is about because if I wrote the song right - the song will take care of that. But I DO tell you the story of how the song was born. The real life that was happening when the first lines or notes came out. And if I do it right - I WILL make you laugh and I WILL probably make you cry, hopefully in equal amounts! I'll also mix in some songs I've written for folks like Cody Johnson, Bryan Martin and others - and tell you how they got heard and recorded. You'll hear some insights and inside info on how the "machine" in Nashville works - the good and the bad - as well as what this "life" of being a full-time songwriter looks like. You won't know me much at all when I walk in, but you'll know me pretty well by the time I leave.

Now for a quick summary of the “usual” bio stuff… My newest album, "Even Better On the Bad Days," debuted at #1 on the iTunes singer-songwriter chart the day it came out earlier this year, and it was produced by Grammy nominated Dave Brainard, who was nominated for his work on Brandy Clark's landmark album "12 Stories." My first album, "Call It Even," climbed to #3 back in 2021. I've played legendary venues like The Bluebird Cafe, Eddie's Attic, Saxon Pub, Main Street Crossing, Dosey Doe The Big Barn, Poor David's Pub, and I've been a regular performer at the Key West Songwriter Festival for the last 6 years and Nashville Nights festival in Denmark for 3 of the last 4 years. And oh yes - I was a Kerrville New Folk Finalist back in 2019.

Songwriter Showdown 

Three local songwriters will perform original songs and covers. They will be backed by Drew Lance on drums. The show format will allow the performers to interact with each other, not only between songs but also during the performances. For example, we may include a song that all three are familiar with and they would take turns singing the verses. 

This performance will also include some kind of contest with the audience as judges. 

We're still working out details.

So far, we have 2 of the 3 songwriters lined up!

1. Cara Ristau (from West End Junction)

2. Jorge Valcarcel (from Boxcar)

From The Janzen Boys website: 

The Janzen Boys have been playing music together since the very beginning, but it started as “The Janzen Boys” shortly after they moved back to Canada from Japan in 2012. They’re a rootsy, harmony-singing folk trio from Winnipeg, Manitoba, consisting of brothers Simon and Mick, and father JJ. Whether they’re playing at music festivals, theatres, venues, or intimate house concerts, they’ll have you laughing, crying, and singing along to classics that you know and love, and catchy original tunes that’ll be stuck in your head for days!

From Joe Kelly's website: 

With a genre-blending style that seamlessly intertwines pop, rock, and folk, Joe Kelly's music has been aptly described as "Jason Mraz on a sedative" – a testament to his ability to craft melodies that are both soothing and infectious. Hailing from the heart of Minnesota and armed with an acoustic guitar, soulful vocals, and a loop station, he creates a rich tapestry of sound in his live performances that envelops audiences in a fuller, more immersive experience. While his discography currently includes two independent EPs, fans anticipate his upcoming folk-pop debut album, Cartoons on the Weekend, slated for release in 2026.

Javier Mendoza's (aka, Hobo Kane) website: https://www.hobocane.com/

From Javier: 

I am Hobo Cane, but you can call me Javier. I am a former Warner-Chappell writer & have been performing and touring across the country for over 20 years. Many people have told me that my greatest gift is my live performance. My mission is to connect with others through song, regardless of language, because music is universal.

I was born in the States, but I grew up in Spain & Germany, raised by my Mexican American father & Spanish mother. This diverse background has greatly influenced my songwriting, allowing me to create songs with various palettes & colors in both English & Spanish.

My musical influences primarily come from albums rather than individual artists. Some of my favorites include "Abbey Road," "OK Computer," "Grace," "Purple Rain," & "Led Zeppelin III." However, I have also been inspired over the years by artists such as The Beatles, Radiohead, Prince, Jeff Buckley & Joaquín Sabina to name a few.

I enjoy performing solo & in duo concerts because it lets me truly tell the story of each song & immerse myself in my entire catalog. While I mostly perform original songs, I also love to pay tribute to my favorite artists by covering their songs.

I currently live in Nashville, where I continue to record, write, and perform live.

From his website: 

"Javier Mendoza started his musical career joining Warner-Chappell as a staff writer in Miami, FL. There he spent his time writing tunes for mega pop sensations such as Enrique Iglesias, Juan David, Ricky Martin, Rosario and more. The ever-winding path of life took him to Saint Louis: City of Miles Davis, Tina Turner and Chuck Berry, where he saw musical success with his new following. In 2014 Mendoza moved to Music City, Nashville, TN where he is embarking on a project as Hobo Cane."

Review from a house concert: 

"Beyond his immense talent as a singer-songwriter, Javier is a truly genuine & engaging performer. He makes every guest feel part of the experience, whether they’ve seen him many times or are hearing him for the first time. His charisma & ability to connect with people through music are what make his house concerts so special..." Jay Brandt - KY
