Says Nancy
"I think songwriters could think of their songs as their bios/history.  They paint a picture of where we’ve been – when and where they were conceived and our interpretation of life’s situation at that time.  “Both Sides of Me” written in a cabin in Tennessee thinking about life, “Lost in Austin”, my first year in Austin, “I Awoke” on a picnic table camping at Lake Travis,  “The Fish Song” after a night of partying and philosophizing with an interesting woman named Mel, and more recently Inner Peace, lookin out my window in Cedar creek tx, thinking about life"…

Nancy Scott has been performing her original songs for over 35 years, mostly in Texas, but also in other parts of the country.  Her first album, yes, vinyl, released in 1987, “has a collection of tunes that many a popular, big name artist would give their eye teeth to own.  Check out Both Sides of Me."  Belle, Music City Texas, March 1992. Her next recording, HeartPrints in Clay (Reminiscent Records), released September 1995, was produced and co-arranged by Betty Elders and carefully put together by a culmination of talented Austin musicians.  The songs in this collection represent a more serious, yet ever hopeful side of Nancy's soul.  Her songwriting continues to evolve as she is currently working on a new CD.

Nancy's songwriting style varies from folk to blues blended with a touch of country and rock and her talent has not gone unacknowledged or unnoticed.  She was included in the top ten songwriters in the Austin Music Umbrella Songwriter's Contest in 1983, performing in the first round picks at the 1989 Kerrville Folk Festival's New Folk, and honorable mention for two of her songs in the 1990 Billboard Songwriters contest.  Her entry in the 1995 Spree Songwriter's Contest was included on a compilation Spree Select CD.  She attended the National Women’s Music Festival in 2004 and was selected from open mic participants to play on the Sunday Stage and more recently performed on the day stage in 2007.
