On Sunday, February 27th, from 1 pm to 2 pm, the W Gallery of Wayland proudly presents The David Thorne Scott Trio. Jazz singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist David Thorne Scott “explores the intersection of Jazz and Americana, city and country, instrumentation and lyrics to create lush compositions and covers that are unifying, and healing, in their beauty” (Laurie Fanell, Eponymous Review). In his new “Thornewood” CD project, he interprets songs from Great American Songbook, plainspoken Texas songwriters and slick film composers. A resident of Boston who was born and raised in Nebraska, David’s original songs are inspired musically by hard bop, and lyrically by the Great Plains.
This performance will be preceded by a closing reception for our February Art Exhibition which will be held from 12 pm to 1 pm and is open to all. Tickets for the concert to follow are $15. You can purchase tickets here: https://artswayland.com/products/the-david-thorne-scott-trio
